Looking for recommendation for battery cut off switch which is not the type that clamps onto a battery post. 1946 coupe. 6 volt system. Article in auto magazine regarding instrument gauges advised amp gauge in my era Fords remains "iive" even with ignition off, thus makes for a real fire hazard.

Don't know where they got that idea from? The only switched by ign is temp fuel & oil gauge's. The amp meter as well as headlight switch is constant power all the time. All Ford product amp gauge is inductive no terminals it senses current a discharge or generator charge. If you are afraid of fires I suggest replacing wires eaten by rats, thats no joke. If you really want a Kill switch don't forget you need big fat cables to interupt the ground which is positive to the block.

JUst a note for now ..... have info on my other computer at home i.e. brand, rating etc. In my '47 it's a thru fire wall switch. I put switch thru an existing hole in firewall close to battery. The switch itself comes out adjacent to glove box .... a security advantage as one must enter car to operate switch. I also have photo of cabling arrangement.
