I have some info on my page at www.koolmeister.com I bought the wire from a welding shop and modified the disconnect to be a push/pull style.

If you go to a track and need to pass a tech inspection, go to that site to see what needs to be done. If the car is strictly for the street, you can mount it however you want.
