Battery and Master Switch Location

Hi All,

Mid Build of my Locost for the 2012 Season
Got a couple of questions as I'm making some layout changes from the old car.

1.Battery Location
It it ok to put the battery(small motorbike one) in the engine bay up against the passenger side bulkhead behind the starter motor? The area is underskinned as permitted in the rules.

2. Electical Master Switch Location
I know the switch has to easily accessable to the belted in driver and a marshall from outside. Is on the dash to the right of the steering wheel ok? I don't want to put it on the scuttle or the ali side panels. The answer will also determin where the fire extinguisher pull goes too.


Cheers
Jason Gibbons
