Default C5 Remote mounted battery disconnect

Got bored as well as nobody makes a kit that would work with the C5 like I wanted. Moroso 300Amp disconnect switch is the only aftermarket part purchased. Functional taillight still, easily removble rod for non-track use. Only 0.25vdc total voltage loss at pcm, thanks to 2/0 cable. Battery mount is fortified stock and fuse holder has a 3 point mounting system, solid as a f'ing rock. Pics in link below.

The only thing you can buy, is the on/off switch itself. Everything else was fabricated by me, if you were thinking it was a kit. otherwise mounting to the liscense plate frame was my other option.
