What are you duster racers using for a cut off switch & where have you mounted them?

I have a Dart Sport but my set-up should also work on a Duster. I have a push/pull rod coming out below the taillights, just above the rear bumper. The hole is somewhat concealed. I just had to fabricate the linkage to the regular master cut-off switch mounted inside off of my weight boxes. Rod and clamps are out of aluminum and easier to fabricate at home.

Race only? Remove the side marker light and mount a plate with the switch in it where the lense was.
EDIT: Not sure if this is legal these days, being on the side of the car. My friend did this to his Road Runner back in the early 90's.

Some tech guys don't like switches or charging posts on the sides in case the car rubs the wall.
Actually, the rear mount for the kill might be an NHRA rule.
Mine has it below the trunk lock cylinder, between the horizontal body line and the bumper.
On my Roadrunner, I ran it through the back-up lamp lens.
Both are rotary switches.

How about the AWESOME end of your push-pull switch!!
I don't have a pic to post but it is a one-off CNC design.
Anyway,just wanted to give Myron a belated Happy Birthday!!!

I am not trying to hijack the post, but I am trying to figure out where to put a shutoff on the rear of my 68 Valiant. The trunk lid comes down to the bumper. Any ideas? Any pictures?
Thanks, John

I mounted my flaming river push pull swith to the side of the trunk brace that holds the lock mechanism then ran the rod just to the left of the lock on the outside. Looks great and works great

my switch is mounted where there would be the trunk key/lock..
I use a continuous duty relay for the alternator shutoff..

B1Killer -Thanks. I like that better than my first idea which was farther to the left. Which would cause me to put an open end slot in my fiberglass trunk lid. Your way, all i have to do is notch or chamfer the corner. Less chance to start a crack.
Thanks again.
John
Thanks again.

I have a pin-on deck lid, so I also used the original trunk key opening to mount my master switch.

I like the KISS princple so I mounted mine here. I ran the cables through the rubber drain plug in the spare tire well and used two # 10 self tappers to mount the bracket onto the bottom ledge of the bumper 
No holes to fill or worry about later 
BTW, this is the second switch, I burnt the first one up in four years, MR Gasket or Moroso 
this one is a Summit 250 AMP, it is labeled with the on and off positions, very nice peice. I have had it mounted there since day one and have not had a peep form any of the techs inspectors yet 
, 10 or 12 different tracks
