I was wondering if any one has put a battery quick disconnect on a 36 model or models that have the battery under the floor. I can't put one on mine, the floor lid sticks up. what else have you guys used? Is there a more convenient way other then lifting up the floor mat and the lid and pulling off the cable? Just looking for some way to kill the battery when I don't use the car. Any ideas?

Put the switch on the starter terminal and not the battery. I know that it will be seen but is way more convenient.

I hid a battery dis-connect switch on my '31 under the passenger side of the front seat. The hole I drilled is through wood, so I could plug it later if need be. It is in a good location; I can reach it from the driver's seat.

on my 32 I put the disconnect switch at the ground cable where it mounts to the trans.

Thanks to all for your ideas. I will keep them in mind. Iam still not sure how Iam going to go about it.
I also thought about putting a toggle switch (hidden under the dash) from the main feed wire off the starter going to the back of the amp gauge. I know that I will still have power going to the starter and horns, but thats it Not sure thats a smart idea though. just a thought.

My'37 half ton has the batterry terminal cutoff, which is a hassel on one hand, but adds a bit of theft protection. It is out of sight and most thieves wouldn't know to look there or it would take too much time to find.

I have considered running a wire lead from the coil (distributor side) to a toggle switch and from the toggle to ground. I'd hide the toggle somewhere easy to get to, but out of sight.

Hi,

I put a battery kill switch on the rail under the front seat that I can get to immediately. No more time spent pulling up carpet and battery cover.

Feel very safe now, see details attached.

Thanks Ray,
Seems like a good idea. Do you have any pictures what the end result looks like?
Is this the same battery kill switch that is offered in the Filling Station catalog? Part number AL-77 ? Again. Thanks for the information. Ken

Hi Ken,

The part is not from the FS but very similar. I mounted it from the back. Looks a bit rougher up close than what it is but the under seat rail of a 28 Chev is not on full view, otherwise I would have made up a dress cover or panel.

Good Luck, please let me know how you get on.

Regards

Ray
