Trunk Mounted Battery Rule..........
 

Hey guys I am building a new car, and need to know about the rule for sealing off the trunk area. If I run a moroso sealed battery box, and vent it outside the trunk area, do I also have to run the steel or aluminum plate between the trunk and rear seat, or is just the sealed box legal?

thanks,

Kirk

No!!!

Actually first ? NO--Second ? YES---Sorry to confuse you---Just remember to follow NHRA rules regarding fastening the box to the gtrunk floor---Comp 387

Are you planning on using a fuel cell? If so, you will need to seal off the trunk from the driver area.

sorry about that guys, I am running the stock gas tank.

The rules state that if you RELOCATE the battery to the trunk, you need a cut off switch. What if the battery originally came in the trunk from the factory? Can NHRA require adding the cabling and switch to a STOCK setup?

Master Cutoff Mandatory on all cars with battery in trunk, see rulebook pg 144 under "Electrical"

thanks for the help guys, I was given some wrong info from someone else,and I wanted to make sure i didn't have to do both. I already have the master cutoff switch mounted, so i should be good to go with the moroso box.

thanks again,
