Default Anyone put a battery on/off switch in their EF with a battery relocation?

I have my battery in the back and before I can run at our drag strip I need an on/off switch on the outside of the car. If anyone has done this I would like to see some pics of where you mounted it if possible. Thanks.

I did this to one of my crx's. I bought some crappy plastic switch for like $20. I did not want to drill any holes so I just took the trunk key hole out and put the switch in there. It was on my center piece taillights. I passed tech a bunch of times then they told me that It had to be metal. You can buy the metal ones for like $40-45.

i bought a switch from an auto parts store. it was originally supposed to mount on the battery, but i just put it inline on the cable. when you unscrew it, it disconnects the circuit. its like a bolt going through two plates with an insulater in the middle.....it was the first one like it i've seen. i ran a wire across it though, with a 20 amp fuse in it, so i dont lose power to the stereo and ecu, but if i or anyone else tries to start it, the fuse blows

you can avoid moving the battery by going with the Midnight Performance small battery and tray, which fit in the engine bay and bolt to stock locations. It does more than keep the battery in the front its also about 15-20 pounds lighter than a full size battery
