Default Kill/Master Switch

I've relocated my battery to the boot and I want to use a master/kill switch to connect the two positive cables up and allow me to switch the battery feed of quickly and easily in the future.

One like this fitted under the bonnet...the question is how are they mounted? I can't make out any way of mounting them from the pictures?





Also whats the difference between the standard switch and the FIA spec switch which is twice as expensive?

the neck of the switch is back entry through the panel, so you remove the rubber cover push it through the panel cut-out then retain with 2 M4 bolts IIRC....

FiA switch contains resistors amongst other things which wont blow your alternator if you use it to 'kill' the engine.

Just screw it down to a bracket John

Thanks guys....I don't want it through the scuttle so I'll use a bracket like Tony says.

I don't plan to 'Kill' then engine either just use it as a switch so I'll go for the non-FIA
