Default Battery cut-off switch installed

When Dennis Olthoff put the full width rollbar on my SPF, it left a hole on the rear deck, just behind the cockpit. So for some months i have had a big amp Moroso battery cut-off switch stuck there, but not wired in. Looked nice, but i don't like non-functional sorts of car things, and at several track and top speed events, the tech inspector would say "good, an external switch", but of course, all he had to do was to peek under the rear of the cockpit, and see that it wasn't hooked up to anything.

So this past weekend, put two grommets in the rear bulkhead, and ran some big gage wire and did it right, with proper metal insulated supports were appropriate, to avoid any chafing and resultant sparks.

Since i always disconnect power before doing any work on my car, it is nice to be able to do it so easily, although i still have the trunk mounted cut-off switch in the circuit.

here is what it looks like.
