Default ON-OFF switch label mod

Here's my first mod: A label for the on-off switch.

It bothered me a bit that you need a wrench to take off the little cover over the on-off switch, so I went to my nearby Ace Hardware and picked up a couple of appropriately-sized (metric) screws. I wanted thumbscrews but settled for ones with pretty big heads that can be grabbed by fingers.

Then I ordered an official SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) on-off switch label like you are required to have on your racing car, and stuck it on the cover under the luggage compartment.

I like. Thumb screws make a lot more sense than bolts you need a tool to remove.

There's an on/off switch in there?? What does it turn on/off?

(my service manual hasn't arrived yet...)

Its the main breaker for the IMA pack. Designed as a service shut-off.
