I installed the one for my race car inside the passenger compartment.


The one on my street car is mounted to a solid panel which replaces the grille over the battery.


Chris,

Why is the race car cutoff inside the car? I admit I haven't looked at the GCR, but isn't it supposed to be outside the car and easily accessible by a course worker responding to a wreck?

It meets the letter of the rules. They only make recommendations - such as on the cowl - no mandated locations. Access for a corner worker through the passenger window is one of the recommendations.

It's close to the battery (on the passenger floor below) and the engine for simple wiring, and I have access from the drivers seat - with the harnesses unlatched.

Bad shot with my iPad in low light, but my cutoff is in the same location as Chris'. I can reach it with my belts tight to turn on or off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
