Not sure what you're looking at, but there isn't a kill switch installed.
The only thing that's out of place is the fuse holder on top of the washer bottle and the Ford starter solenoid and GP fuse holder on the raintray.

I got it. Should the car not be able to start the cable comes off, gets wrapped around the bumper supports and becomes the tow it home cable. Genius.

HOLY BATTERY CABLE!!
Haha... 1/0 ga. Incredibly flexible, too. Never worked with anything like it, before.
-Todd
I used 1/0 as well, but not transparent. Super flexible fine wire, good for starting.

This seems to be the case where more is better. 5400 plus wires and it can handle up to 300 amps. That should do for just about any of our GP, starter needs. Maybe some subwoofers would press it.
Nice product.

How is the jacket on that wire? I would just be concerned with the positive cable sitting the negative post longterm unless your dubs vibrate much less than mine! or is that a illusion they are that close in the picture?
How does the plain old clear vinyl fuel line hold up longterm?

That stuff is rated to 375A @ 20'. I've run some pretty powerful sub/amp combos in my younger days and I can assure you that I never came close to maxing out my 2 ga. wire. Touching on an earlier comment I made about Streetwires looking undersized is partially true. I just read that the cable I used is purposely made oversized.

The spec sheet says the insulation is 2mm... slightly over 1/16". It's an illusion about any contact; the cables are on an upward sweep at that point; they were at least 1/2" away from the negative terminal.

Back on topic about the lines, lol. I used 5384K604 (3/16" ID 5/16" OD) and 5384K57 (1/4" ID 3/8" OD) Moisture-resistant Polyethylene Vacuum Tubing. I just saw that it's not recommended, but I drove the car for at least 6 months with those lines on it and had no issues. I guess you're taking the same chance if you use the clear vinyl tubing.
Not sure if I made a mistake when I ordered it, but I should have used 50375K45 (3/16" ID 5/16" OD) and 50375K47 (1/4" ID 3/8" OD) High-Pressure Polyethylene Vacuum Tubing. From the rating table for diesel: No Effect—Excellent chemical resistance. No performance degradation.

I know I'm kind of late to this but here's what I'm using for a "clear section of fuel line."

I had one of those till one day I got on it, stripped the threads, and blew my fuel all over the street
I think some of those are more equal than others.
I just replaced some cross weave reinforced ?nylon? from the hardware store after 5 years. It wasn't causing me problems, but wasn't as supple as it used to be either.

I've got almost 3 years on some of the cheap vinyl (10-20 cents per foot) from like Lowes/Tractor Supply/Hammerhead Hdwr. In use just underhood, on Supply and Return.
On injector jumpers, and from Inj Pump to Injector, i use thicker walled tygon.
The 1/8" vinyl is too thin walled and it splits on the ends.
The vinyl "might" go 5 years.
Have it on 4 cars so far.
