On an impulse I bought a new kill switch from a club member. It came with no directions...
Any advice where would be a good place to mount this thing? Is it worth it? I mean, do they really help stop theft---or just the honest thieves? Looks like you could mount this in line pos or neg to cut the battery, or cranking power, or it also has some smaller switches built in to perhaps cut the power to the coil, maybe the fuel pump?

uhmm, they're not for theft protection ... they're there to save your life! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) this is a "race" item. they're supposed to be mounted on the outside at a easy accessible location so anybody outside the car can kill the engine while you're pinned inside your wreck ... typical locations on a 914 is the front cowl area or the little side-pieces next to the engine lid ...
