hello folks
looking to install a battery switch in the TD I like the spot right next to my
seat near the tranny tunnel in the floor...not really conspicuous there..and
very easily accessed... I was thinking of switching the positive side of the
battery which presently has a short braided cable attached from the battery to
the battery box...... always thought it was kind of a wimpy spot for so much
grounded positive power but thats where MG put it as we know.... and they were
electrical geniuses......... so here's the dilemma..... question...
run a new cable from the positive terminal of the battery to the switch
mounted nicely inside the car (this can all be routed below very neatly) THEN
i was going to come from the switch with a little shorty cable to the
transmission mount bolts at the frame.... seems like a great palce to positive
ground and would eliminate the need to reroute a return cable to the original
wimpy ground up top..... any thoughts pro or con??? I was thinking of
running a fused lead (the new battery cables have a small accessory wire pig
tail on them already) to my clock so she would stay running even when the
battery switch was off..... the clock runs perfectly but is annoying to "set
time" start every time i disconnect the battery...would this require me to be
switching the negative lead and if so it would put a crunch in my tranny cable
hook up idea i think ??
i like the switch easily accessible as i am tired of opening and closing the
engine compartment all the time and the car is virtually brand new.. so i want
the switch as hidden yet easy to use as possible.
thanks as always
the rock
