Trip switches instead of fuses

[Howitzer]

When some custom build cars use trip switches instead of fuses, are they an automotive style one or is it a general industrial style trip?

Sorry, edited my post.

Are these not used on modern rally cars nowdays due to the small size of the new ones and for ease of use?

I could just get a basic MK1 escort loom for the car but I want to do it all a bit different.

I used ETA circuit breakers rather than fuses, they can also be used as the switch which negates the need for a relay. They are common on planes and military vehicles. I picked most of mine up on ebay for a couple of pounds a piece.

Handy if you are racing, you take do a quick risk assessment and bang it back in to finish a race.

This sounds like what I want.

It's for a drag car that will be used on the road.

Thanks guys, all help much appreciated as always!
