Easy for you 914 mavens.
For the street driver only, no competition track (means pretty but aggressive) 1. Fire Extinguishers--------which type is best? ie; halon, best mount, ie; floor, seat rails etc. OR in engine compartment automatic sys?   2. Battery quick disconnect ---------prevent storage drain. assuming battery is in original location on tray, which is best? "Key type" or terminal quick unscrew style (at batt terminal) AND best location for key switch (in cab dash? or on engine lid?) Bosch, or Rennline (with red key?)  THANK YOU Attached image(s)

a) you want something in the cabin with you unless your race regs require otherwise, which you've said they don't.
b) get something with an alternator cutoff circuit, unless you are going for a specific vintage look for concours purposes. If you are, find a way to incorporate an alternator cutoff circuit... I am fitting a period-correct 1-pole switch to my RSR homage - but there will be an alternator cutoff circuit wired in behind the scenes. You must ask yourself 'why'. If it's just for the look. put it where you want and don't wire it in. For street cars, the ignition switch is fine. |
