Regarding prior post: Master battery disconnect.....
"There's considerable controversy over wether it's best too hook up the master shutoff("kill") switch to the positive or negitive side of the battery. As far as I know, NHRA rules mandate connection at the positive side. However most stock car sanctioning bodies require installing the kill switch on the negative side and for good reason. It's much safer to route the negative cable through the main battery disconnect. If you through the positive side, the exposed terminals on the back of the switch could contact the body metal during a crash. The negative cable connects to the body ground already, so it doesn't matter if it touchs. www.mercurycapri.com/technical/electric/ks.html "

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
