Battery Cutoff

[DmnStr8]

The previous owner of my car relocated the battery to the trunk. Unfortunately, he did not install a cutoff switch. I would like to race my car, but I need to install one first. I know I will need to run a line back from the alternator as well. I also know that the switch has to be marked and easily accessible. I have a few questions.

Who makes a good switch? I want this to be hidden. I was thinking maybe something that I could put behind the license plate. Would have to be a low profile switch so that the plate doesn't stand out on the car. I don't want people playing with this. Also it could be a good theft deterent. What should I by for wire? I probably will run the line back from the alternator under the car because it will be easier. So the line needs to be able to withstand the elements.

Pics would be awesome.

I bought my kit srom summit, i thnk the entire thing was 45 bucks which included everything but the switch. (although i ran my wire inside the car, and barely had enough) The switch was about 30 bucks, because i got the higher amp one just in case.
If you take the plastic off from behind where the hatch light is, youll see a little support for the lock mechanism. i drilled my hole about an inch and a half to the right (twoards the passenger side) and about in the center from top to bottom. I then drilled a hole for the battery cable to go thru the plastic.
I bought some extra fittings from the local parts store, and brazed them onto the battery cable. make sure you strip the rubber insulation back a little bit, or youll melt the insulation (i know from experience)
Which side did he run the battery cable from the back to the front, and did he run it inside the car or outside the car? Ill snap some pics at lunch and throw them up here in about an hour and a half.. ive been meaning to do that anyways.

The cable runs through the car on the drivers side. The battery is mounted on the drivers side as well.

Oh and no hatch. I've got a notch

Thats ok, not everyone can be a pimp hatch owner... kidding... anywho, i brought the damn camera to work, but forgot to take it home at lunch, ill try to snap a few when i get home, should be pretty much the same concept.
