Rear mounted battery

[Musturd]

K so who all has mounted there battery in the trunk ? I'm trying to see find some ideas for the rear mounted battery kill switch any help pics or anything would be greatly appreciated and no I'm not scared to cut my car up , I've already done thru floor subframe connectors and have no problem cutting a hole in my cobra bumper

What kinda switch? If its a turn one not a pull one, you can hide it behind your license plate. Pick up some brackets off an old 80s car

Yea it's the traditional turn style . Yea the license plate idea works awesome on fox's im still debating on putting it where the key hole is on the trunk

My batteries are in the trunk but for different reason... With the batteries back there it should be really easy to do the kill switch with the batteries and the inertia switch in the trunk.

 

[Musturd]

Yea but it has to be easily visible for tech because race car

How can you hide it behind the license plate in a SN? Does the trunk still open?

Mine is in the passenger seating area. Our kill switch has to be in driver's reach, but can you do it through your tail light? It would be a little work, but I think it would look good.

right but no wires to run, a selenoid and only a couple of connections would make it really easy.

 

[Musturd]

You can still do it thru the license plate on a sn you just run the wires up thru the trunk like third brake wiring which is what I might do then drill a hole for the switch to come thru my license plate

This is 94 drop tops car from the forum found a pic doing a google search I like this look , what do y'all think

Oh, gotcha. I was thinking of that long arm that goes to a mechanical switch.

On a sidenote, those Taylor/Mallory switches are POS'. I've had like 3 fail on me, that's about 1 per year. I don't think they are meant to be used. I usualy have mine OFF when in storage or in the trailer. And when they fail, it's at a race, and then you gotta scramble to get it up and working.

 

[Musturd]

Oh fun , I can see me having this problem as well over time

I almost wonder if you couldn't hide it behind the ford emblem. Maybe get some magnets to hold the emblem on when your not using it?

 

[Musturd]

My trunk is shave of all emblems and third brake light

I've seen one on here where the hole was on the tail light bezel

 

[Musturd]

Problem solved

This way looks best

 

[LilRoush]

[KidK9]

That's an awful spot for it! Go look at my build thread.

 

[Musturd]

[cobra head]

[Musturd]

Thanks man Yea I like it . The whole is already there just had to do some cutting of the sheet metal Notta big deal at all , it looks pretty clean this way IMO .

 

[KidK9]

I did a double take. I now realize you put that in the trunk key spot. I stand corrected! Looks great!!
