dbreese Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Going to relocate the battery to the trunk. Will use a enclosed battery box with vent. For those that have made this conversion where did you locate the cutoff switch( needs to be NHRA legal mounted at the rear of vehicle on the outside and accessible to track personnel. Was thinking go using the flaming river switch with a push off rod. Pictures or ideas would be appreciated, Just want a clean install.

Sam (Bones) Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I mounted mine in the rear bumper, I like our idea better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreese Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Thanks for the reply Sam. The bumper mount was the first thing I was thinking about but then I remembered a buddy of mine had the push-off rod in his rustang drag week car and had it exiting through the taillight housing and lens. I just don't see that position being viable because of the taillight extension and the fact the there is no room in the housing because of the led board being in the way. I may have to bite the bullet and drill a 1/2 hole below the trunk lid near the trunk lock support for the rod to run through. How does that sound? The cool thing about the push-rod is that it can be unthreaded from the lever mechanism which makes it like an antitheft device.

Sam (Bones) Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 that how I would do it if I had to do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreese Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Sam, Did you also wire your hot wire from the alt to the cutoff switch and if you where running a ignition box how did you wire it? My 6al is wired directly to the battery. Thx David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam (Bones) Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I found out my car didn't shut off because of the alt wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 With the 71 ss rear trim I mounted mine on the tail panel beside the scripts, looks right at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbreese Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 That looks great Jared. If I had a spare middle trunk trim that would work. As you well know those things aren't cheap. You don't have a ragged spare one laying around. LOL Hope you are doing well Sir. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Richey Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I have a few junky spares. That's the problem on 72, I'd probably mount the switch on the bumper if I had 72 trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
