    Everything has been on the back burner for awhile... Still need to find a computer and should get some steel soon so I will kick it back into gear hopefully.

    I have dash mounted switches running to the pins on my power supplies as well, along with a master shutoff that turns off power to both supplies.
    The dash mounted switches are very handy. (and cool as hell to look at)

    Use one per motor, they are pretty cheap on ebay.
