Battery Isolator Fitting

[TarkMalbot]

I bought a bog standard cheap battery isolator cut off. It hasn't arrived yet but does anyone know of a guide of the best route for the cables and T pull and how to mount the external pull and avoiding the wiper mechanism (other than going single wiper)? A
So the wiring colours and best snip location for the ignition and alternator etc?
Thanks.

If it's a proper kill switch you should find this useful;-

Yes that's the one. I just need to find out the best place to cut into the wires for the ignition then I guess. Will putting the ignition feed from the original key switch ignition barrel suffice?

yep i think so, thats what i have done. just take the cowl off from the colum and use the red wire.

 

[TarkMalbot]

Perfect. That's easy enough then. I was thinking I might have to find the live to the coil and bring that through the bulkhead and connect that up to the switch and the ignition live to the other.

I put my pull on the driver's side. There is a big space there on the 172 cup, pollen filter is there on yours though I think.

My switch it too big to fit in the space left by the radio but I will make it fit with some modifications!

i have fitted mine below the air con unit. i made a plate and bolted that in to fix the switch to.
i used the space where the radio went to fit the extinguisher pull and the rain light switch.
