Not the kind of fuse you want to pop, it's part of the loom and iirc can't be bought separately.
For a few quid Wack a fuse in, I fit a kill switch in mine as well.

I use a 175amp mega fuse on mine. Do a search for mega fuses and holders, that should bring something up. I use 35mm2 cable. We use it at work for power supply over 7mtrs and the loss of amps/volts is very minimal. It's also very expensive so I'm glad I "borrowed" it!!

Yes mate they're the ones.
Same as northloop
I fitted a megafuse holder with a 175A megafuse in the engine bay
AWG0 - which is about 35mm2 cable through the gromet where the bonnet release goes and into the boot
I just put a battery tray in the boot and fitted the standard battery in there. I don't use my car much and the slim batteries tend to go flat quite easily if not used

just ordered a 175 amp fuse and megafuse holder of eBay...worked out cheaper than toolboxshop.
As for cable this the one? here
240amps....? would 170 amps not do? here
Also any one know how far it's from the battery bay to the back of the passenger seat, car's up in the barn and it's windy out. 3mtrs enough?
Oh, what connections do I need to connect to an Odessey 25 Battery?

Are these any good as a kill switch also what the hell is the 4 terminals on the bottom for?

I've seen a few cheaper ones on eBay but the amps seams low so can someone point me in the right direction as to which one i'd need.

The 4 terminals at the bottom are to cut power from the alternator. For motor sport the cut off switch has to cut the engine as well, just cutting the battery won't stop the engine if it is running.
If you just want something to stop the battery going flat a 2 terminal one would be fine.
I always had issues with those mechanical cutoff, I guess because it was external it got lots of crap in it.
I'm going to go solid state with my cutoff http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motor...ek_Solid_State_Battery_Isolator_Kit/1594/1438.

I'm getting one of these, Jay\Tony from Burpspeed use it. Cheaper than the Cartek one, Power cut off . Jay put the link on my project thread a few days ago.
