Thanks, You see it not only about security but also safety.

A club won`t help that. Taking the keys out will not help that.
The switch needs to be able to be locked or disabled with a key.

Guitplayer,

Good point, definitely a good practice to shut the power off with grandkids around. My grandkids love to play in the trucks. Another added benefit is no dead battery after they leave the headlights on.

I did the same. Mine is just one of those simple screw-in knob type shutoffs on the negative battery post.

Most race car classes require a remote cut off switch mounted on the outside of the car. Also a roll over breather on fuel tank---all for fire safety.

I just need something to be safe and secure here in the garage or if
I take it to the Ace hardware or out to dinner. I can lock the doors there.
But here it is garage kept and I leave the keys in it.
Its insured for theft but Id betcha Hagerty would appreciate any and all help in this regard.

I installed just a cutoff switch on the negative side for two purposes. One in case of a electrical fire, while I was in the process of replacing faulty wiring, I could quickly kill the power due to the battery being under the mat and second as a theft deterrent. It won’t stop an educated thief but will stop a kid with a stupid idea of taking a joy ride.

Another benefit is isolating the battery during winter storage.

Nice discrete install. Looks like seat frame. Does the other end of that ground go to the chassis or a bell housing/ starter bolt?

DON'T ANSWER HIM!! IT'S A TRICK!!

It’s not a trick.
