Help! Where To Install Battery Disconnect Switch?

Purchased Taylor Battery re-location kit, however, no instructions as to where to place the ON/OFF switch. I understand that NHRA rules
dictate it be outside the car. ..but where and how. Someone suggested
behind the license plate...but again...how?
Any Help would be very much appreciated.






1995 Z28/Red/wBlackTtop., A4; Full race susp: incl.Spohn Chassis, suspension and Driveshaft, MSD ignition and Distributor, Vigilante 9.5 stall converter, etc.etc.etc....too much to list.

More than likely by cutting a Hole in the body and mounting it to the inside with the switch on the outside... wouldn't really be that hard I would think... not positive on the rules for the NHRA though.. but that would be about the way to do it. Because technically the switch is outside the car.

Here's one installed under the bumper, along with the rear-mount 16V battery.

or if you want , you can run the handle for a remote push/pull one through a tail light, and remove the handle on the street, and put a good tail light in



NHRA specifies that the batt disconnect control(switch lever) be at the rear most panel of the car, in the rear of the car(not the side)
