Does anyone have any pics of there truck and how they mounted cell and b/box? Also where did you put your battery switch?

Thanks in advance,
Denis

If you plan to race this car at a track where it will be inspected the mounting bolts or rods for the fuel cell should be 3/8 and the battery hold downs should be 1/2 inch. The cut off switch needs to be in the rear of the car and marked on and off. Hope that helps. RM

Thanks, I'm good with all that. Was just trying to get some ideas. Learning from others mistakes...:eek:

This is a 25 gal. tank I had made at work-I can still carry my tool box, a huge plastic tote full of spares, a fuel jug with race gas, and still have a few nooks and crannies to stuff small items. The mounting brackets used to look better, but I bent them around to lower the sump of the tank because I carry as little fuel as possible when racing. The battery is behind the right wheel-it sits on a tray from the auto parts store(no box) with 3/8" threaded rod thru the floor with large washers backing up both sides.
