Re: Battery Disconnect

Here is a photo of a Cole-Hersse rotary battery disconnect switch I mounted on the steering column of my 115C. It was placed there for safety not security. Even though it required raising the hood panel to get to the switch, it was convenient and worked well. HH56's installation is more elegant and secure. I made a simple flat mounting plate and secured it with a tail pipe clamp.
Later I moved the battery from under the seat to inside the engine compartment. I removed the C-H switch at that time and now using a heavy duty battery cable disconnect from NAPA. Sorry, no photos of this installation tonight, but I will get you one tomorrow. Again, this was for safety and not security.
All of my vintage cars have had some kind of battery disconnect. No electrical fires in my garage, thank you.
