PapaSmurf Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Been wanting do do a battery relocation in the mustang for awhile now. My question is DO I HAVE TO get a disconnect switch to be TRACK LEGAL both IHRA and NHRA? Im a little confused. It would make the installation less time consuming and easier and I dont really feel like I need a disconnect switch.Here is a link to the kit im interested in purchasing http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1231-k/overview/ Edited June 11, 2013 by PapaSmurf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64bit_Tuning Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 AFAIK, it is required. But it is far from difficult or time consuming to install . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revhead347 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Yes, the disconnect switch is required. Like mentioned in the other thread, you must also run the alternator power wire back to the switch as well.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64bit_Tuning Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I like the flaming river push/pull switches. I've seen guys mount them down in the spare tire well. You cut a small hole in the bumper for the rod to poke out, and it can even be removed when you're not at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F8L GT Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 If I could do it over again I would probably do a Push/Pull through the bumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could install it together lol.Tapatalk made me do it!If I could do it over again I would probably do a Push/Pull through the bumperI've never been a real big fan of the push pull switches for some reason. I kind of like the look of the switch with the on/off label. Makes the rear look a little intimidating imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
