After reading some posts about anti theft devices and Fire preventatives, I thought I would post some pics of the setup I placed in my car when I replaced the floorboards.
Having seen a couple of designs and locations on the net I decided to do my own thing to make them a little less visible. Also by utilising a key style switch you can remove the ability for anyone to start it.
The design also has two isolation switches one for both the positive and negative terminal to eliminate any earth leakage problems. Havent had any starting issues since installation and its luck to be driven once a week.
The new grounding point was moved from in front of the battery to the side angled bracket closest to the drive shaft. The previous grounding point would have interfered with the wooden box.
The switch mounting point is recessed midway into the box to allow the keys to be flush on one side, and the rear terminals to be flush on the rear. A new set of cables were utilised and the lead from the battery to the starter switch had a new terminal crimped on as it had to be shortened a little. A cover was then made for the rear face and sealed to prevent water ingress. I have no intent of driving through high water so it shouldn't be an issue.
The photos show how it looks before and after construction.
