You need a metal box or a metal bulkhead to separate the battery from the cockpit and an on/off switch on the outside of the rear of the car.

Yup he hit it on the nose.
I run the Taylor kit..real nice. Comes with a fancy looking batt. box and all the supporting hardware. I still need to run the cutoff switch, but they always let me slide through tech. If you race alot I'd recc. it some track techs can be a-holes about it.
