Sure, just make sure it is properly labeled ON/OFF.

Many have recommended multiple post switching blocks (for example - 2 on each side). Any advantage other than ease of wiring and not having to double up wires on a single post?

I also see over complicated setups with a mechanical linkage extending to the contactor switch. Is there any reason for this other than making room for mounting the switch?

IF you plan to hit the track, that will not pass tech. It states no plastic switches, and yes, it needs to be labeled clearly.

Take a look at this one. It's metal, has a labeled bezel.

I'm really impressed with it for the price. It's only a 175 amp switch, so you have to think about how you really want to wire your car. Looks nice, even though my camera is less than up to the task.
