Re: Battery cut off switch

Some of those battery mounted cutoff switches are just plain crap that cannot take the heavy current of the starter motors more than a few times -- or it could be one designed around modern starters that use less current. Better for older starters would be to get one of the Cole-Hersee type heavy duty switches and mount it in a convenient location. Granted it does take a bit more work and an extra bit of cable.

I am not that much a stickler for authenticity so used rubber covered round cable instead of the braided strap to still place my switch in the ground side. Mounted switch on the firewall where I could use an extended rod and knob next to the emergency brake handle to control it from the inside.
