Thread: trunk mounted battery short protection

That's an idea Tech1, I need to think this over pretty well. The Moroso 74102 ($59.88) is available from Summit although it is not in their catalog. They also have a 250 amp cutoff for $49.95 and a push/pull with provision for the alternator cutoff for $78.88 but only rated at 150 amps continuous with 2000 amps surge. The 300 amp cutoff looks good, but I am scratching my head over where to put an external switch in the rear if I put a resto-rod luggage rack on the back of the roadster, although I suppose there are ways to put it back there and still be hidden. Overall I think this is forcing me to just get something safe for the street and not worry about the 1/4 mile at my age. I'm still studying the Sweeden book and probably will follow his street circuit. Just facing up to my age and trying to get the car on the road for touring while I can enjoy it. Thinking it over in edit mode I suppose it would be possinle to have a setup where the luggage rack could be unbolted easily.
