mymontesa70 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hello fellow first gen family, I'm Putting a battery disconnect switch on and i wanted everyone's opinions on where to put it. inner fender? wheel well? maybe in the grill or remove a bumper bolt and use that location? Ever put one in? where did you put it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I have several friends who mounted them under the hood next to the battery under the fender. Out of sight that way and not easily seen when the hood is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I assume you are looking for security if you are trying to hide it? Are you also looking to disconnect the battery because you have a drain on it? If it is just for security it might be easier to hide a small toggle switch inside the car that kills the ignition this way you do not have to open the hood each time you get out and back in.

Leghome Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The ignition kill switch is what my 72 has and it is hidden in the passenger compartment where it is easy to get to from the drivers seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I did the same thing. Spliced into the Red 12 gauge wire from horn relay to 4 splice near the instrument panel. John S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymontesa70 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 honestly i just always thought they looked "racecar" but there's also a lingering paranoia that ill drive my car somewhere, say take the wife out on a drive and go to dinner and come back out to the dreadfull dead battery becuase of some drain. i guess i dont need one and ill just chance it. life's an adventure right?. now im paranoid about theft. looks like a ignition cut off is in my future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leghome Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Mine is mounted near the emergency brake pedal. I had not used it for a while until this car season and I had a hard time finding it the first couple of times. Now it is second nature to use it every time I get out of the car.
