Question about battery cutoff switches I'm going with the Moroso relocation kit, and Dynabatt battery. I'm also looking at the Flaming River cutoff switches. Good brand? Anybody have this and where did you mount it? Pics of install? And is the T-Handle necessary?
Description...
A disconnect switch built for racing use. Flaming River Big Switch heavy duty battery disconnect switches feature an easy grip 3 1/2 in. T-handle and are rated at 250 amps continuous and up to 2,500 amps for 5 second periods. The Big Switch totally disconnects the circuit for emergency shutoff and it's NHRA accepted. A 18 in. remote mount extension is available with the switch or even separately.

Re: Question about battery cutoff switches I got that same one, and put the bat where the spare tire was. Then drilled a hole in the back bumper (its about the same area the WS6 logo would be if you have a WS6). I drilled it alittle larger then the shaft of the rod, put a grommut(sp?) in there and ran the handle though there its ok I like it, looks really clean.

Re: Question about battery cutoff switches Just installed a Summit Racing switch today. Drilled a hole in the back valance above the bumper in the body, under the tail light. Looks good. Just make sure you connect it to the POSITIVE battery wiring, not the negitive.
If you connect it to the negitive, it will not shut the car off when the car is already running.
