I thought I'd share my installation too. I agree that I want to be able to keep the car secure and as fire safe as possible. Also, I wanted the installation to be subtle.
I used the Flaming River 500 Amp option and mounted it to a replacement battery cover. I didn't want to cut into the original underseat cover, so I used 3/16" piece of aluminum and drilled the large hole for the switch, which rotates 90 degrees.
I placed the switch at specific distance from the front of the seat such that I could add a lever that is barely visible from beneath the seat.
This way, there is no obvious switch in the engine compartment for security, and the switch is hidden to preserve visual authenticity.
Plus, with a 500A rating, there is next to zero voltage drop to cause slower starting speed or lower battery charge level.
