Battery Kill Switch Setup

Re: Battery Kill Switch Setup
Thats were the switch on the roll cage comes in handy, thats how we turn off the power, we never turn off the rear switch, its for the track personel to turn off the car if there is a problem.
Gotta plan, spend it before she can, and go as fast as you can.
Re: Battery Kill Switch Setup
I just ran the alternator ouput to the battery side of my trunk mount switch with 10 AWG. I ran an anti chafe sheath over everything. ranit inside the from rail for most the distance.
don't forget, your killing the diodes if ya disconnect the battery from a running alternator. Plus it won't pass inspection if it doesn't shut the car off.
I am starting to like the idea of the second cutoff near the driver. not sur e how iwould incorporate it with my scheme though.

Re: Battery Kill Switch Setup
Since when did they make that rule?? What sanctioning body?
I know IHRA just modified their wording, but it doesn't say that on/off vs push pull is required, only changed that you have to have it labeled if it's not push off.

Re: Battery Kill Switch Setup
I doubt if i have any pictures... but i bet the A body's were all the same at and under the trunk latch. I just used a 90* turn switch, made a clevis, put a piece of allthread and a knob on it. I then drilled a hole in the trunk pan somewhere around the trunk latch brace. it exits where the licence plate goes.FARRIGNO wrote:since we are on the topic of battery shutoff's my track told me the on/off swith type is no longer accepted,you need the push/pull type,now does any body have pics of one installed on a 70-72 chevelle??? need some ideas thanks.

Re: Battery Kill Switch Setup
The new update is posted on the IHRA website, I don't recall where though. Yeah I'd read up on that before you go changing it all around.
