Hello Bob:
You will not require a cut-off switch.

thats good, saves me the BS of installing a big old ugly switch through the licence plate.

If you had to use one and it's a street car, could you just hang one out of the trunk lid? Like pull the wire out and close the lid on it and leave it there?

:dunno These are usually pretty hefty switches 250 amps or so. I'm thinking something like that would have to be mounted properly. It'd prolly depend on the tech or their mood..

Also Mike Bennett replied to you, from what I understand he has quit the facility to move onwards and upwards after the end of May so there will be a new manager coming on board so things could still change. Hiding a switch really isn't that big of a deal. I have mine behind my rear plate with my plate spaced out 3/4". Show up to race, plate is off. With the plate on it's completly out of sight and not many people realize the plate is pushed outwards slightly. |
now we know your secret hoo hoo wha! :LOL:
