Moroso, metal construction, better than the plastic units.

I have a plastic one with removable key on the outside, the metal one mentioned above on the inside. The removable key is a little piece of mind during transport or storage.
Btw some clubs like the kill switch to be within reach or close proximity to the driver, make sure it complies. |

I'm fairly sure mine is the common OMP or maybe Sparco -- definitely be sure it's the right type with the alternator circuit. Vastly more work to remote-install but that definitely is better, having it over by the driver's side a-pillar/cowl. Mine is near the battery tray though. Most astute clubs / tech inspectors will test it so be sure you do, including at above idle revs...

I always liked these, but not sure about typical track legality. We've run them without issues but they aren't very common. Much better built than the typical cheap Sparco, etc.

I have that one too. I mounted mine next to me behind the shifter and then ran a pull cable to the the same area you put your switch. I just did it on the drivers side incase I had to do a quick exit and forgot to kill the car.
Looks good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Be sure to insulate those hot lugs. Otherwise you may have a shower of sparks.
