Master kill swith location (pic)

Messing around with how/where I would like to relocate the battery, and discovered there was room for the kill switch on the battery box below the cable entry holes.

I've never seen this anywhere. seems like convenient locate unless someone knows a good reason not to put it there.

Thanks for your input.

Re: Master kill swith location (pic)

If tech matters,, NHRA says it must be located on the rear most portion of the car, easily accessible to track officials. Does that fit into your plan?

Re: Master kill swith location (pic)

Was thinking right rear of bed, the switch would be easy to see, but 90* to the rear exposure.

Re: Master kill swith location (pic)

Really all it says is must be located on the rearmost portion of the vehicle and easily accessible from the outside. I don't think you would have any problem with that as long as there isn't a tailgate hiding it.

Re: Master kill swith location (pic)

i would also make sure you still run a vent tube with this set up, or the it may cause corrosion on the master shut off switch.
