Re: 60 Amp Breaker: Shocking News...

Would putting a clip on the breaker help? I know that many of the breakers in my house have a clip on them (which, i guess, turns them into auto-reset breakers), but would such a clip be legal in competition? If so, where would I get such a clip? Also, would it be legal to wire in a toggle switch if the breaker is locked?
