I need to install a cut-off switch on a coupe and I can't find a good spot for it. Does anyone have any ideas or where did you put yours?

i don't have one, but the ones i always see/read about are put behind the license plate and use wing nuts on the plate for quick removal to hit the switch.

I put mine behind the plate using standoffs. The FR switch is called the "Big Switch" for a reason. The Moroso switch isn't as big on the outside. Do a yahoo search on battery relocation. That's what I did to get some ideas. Check out my site here on the photo page to see pics.

Does NHRA/IHRA require the switch to be in the positive line? Or can it be in the negative?
