Nothing flashy, but works like a charm.





2 turns counterclockwise and the battery is disconnected, 2 turns clockwise and it is connected again.

Kind of like the ones I used to have on my race cars, but less racy looking.

Nice, where did you get that? That would be a great addition for those of us who need to store our cars.

Don't buy the cheap switches made in China, I had one fall apart in my hand. I have compared three versions all identical at a glance, one made in china, one from taiwan and one from usa. Probably all made in china with different stamping on them.

good luck,

Mine was installed with the Lingenfelter upgrade, I think it is safe.

Good stuff. I've never had one but I saw a guy at the track with something similar. When he had to disconnect the battery to work on his car it was quick and easy to do. Thanks for sharing!
