I like the battery cut-off switch that has a pre-cut mounting plate, but it has a red plastic handle. Are those plastic handles easily breakable??
Is the weatherproof/waterproof switch needed if I mount the switch directly over the battery in the small, side vent to the side of the engine lid? Best brand? Mounting location? Anything available w carbon fiber accents to match my 914? I have not seen carbon fiber bits on any of them and do plan to mount it in that side-space near the engine lid over the battery. This is for my cafe-racer cruiser that I AX with PCA and hope to take to the track some day. My 914 has a battery drain somewhere, I plan to track it down, but want to add the cut-off switch now as a band-aid (I currently disconnect the battery if it sits more than 48 hrs). I don't necessarily need SCCA compliance, and I do expect this to see daily driver type abuse. Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I don't know exactly what your trying to do but you might consider adding an inertia activated fuel cut-off switch. I am going to put one of these on my track car. In a hard accident it effectively shuts off the fuel pump. Smart racing has one. I bet JEGS/Summit have them. About $60.
