Master Disconnect Switch??

[Hal Copple]

i now have two battery cut off switches, in fact, if you count up every "switch" you have to activate to actually turn my motor over, it is seven, counting the key! The mathematical permuation must run in the hundreds of thousands!!

Anyway, i have the Olthoff installed one in the trunk, but since many of the track places insist on one being either in the cockpit or outside the car, i put a big amp Moroso one in the left over hole just behind my cockit, from when my rollbar was switched over to a full width bar. So it is "outside" the car, mine is metal, NHRA approved, with the alternator cut off in it, (that part is acutally not wired up yet, as my car won't run at idle off the alternator).

My caution for anyone else considering an outside switch, is to get one with a non-removable key, so you don't come back and have it taken as someone's souvenier, that you get one for big amp flow, and you install it correctly. I had an alternator shop make up my wires for me, my Moroso has bigger than normal lugs on it.

Not hard to do, but something that takes thought and time. there may be a pic of mine in my photo album here, i can't recall, i can put one up there if anyone wants me to.

Here are my switches:

trunk mounted cut off
cut off just behind cockpit
key
lift up aircraft safety switch
trans neutral switch
momentary on toggle under aircraft safety switch.

I guess that makes six.
