Battery cut-off location

[Wobbles1971]

I picked up one of those battery cut-offs that VB sells and Im looking for suggestions of where to mount it. Really would be nice if they made these items fully enclosed of some sort but owell. I dont really want to just let it dangle around with exposed ends, and also dont really want to just tape the heck out of it. Its the circular type with 4 holes around the rim, and the exposed terminals hanging out the back, was kind of wondering what the 4 holes are on it actually? Thinking of searching for a circular piece of plastic tubing and making a housing for it, maybe some large pvc pipe, then mounting it to the firewall. If anyone could give a suggestion or link me to some pictures of people that have hooked this up cleanly Id appreciate it, thanks.

You could dip it in Plasti-dip or liquid electrical tape, but I'm sure there's a proper mounting bracket for it "available at any local auto parts store."

Which means it doesn't exist.:classic:

Without being too specific, there are two areas that I would consider for a mounting a battery cut off switch.

If I was to be using the car for competition I would be thinking of mounting the switch within easy reach of my seated position in the car so that immediate easy access was available in the event of any unplanned excursion.

If the function of the switch is for security of the vehicle then I would be looking for a discrete but easy to access location with low visual impact from any point in the car.

make a small and thick metal box that has a latch that is opened with a VanLock type cam lock.

When you're weary of leaving the car somewhere, open up the box, switcher off, and close the box. remember to run a 10amp fuse around the battery cutoff so that you can keep your radio settings if you like. and if someone tries to start the car, they might just end up poppin' that fuse =)
