    Battery Disconnect Bonus Points

    I see in the judging sheet you can earn bonus points for a battery disconnect switch?
    Are they referring to something like this?

      Make sure you buy a quality switch like what Restoration Battery sells ($12). I've used them on many vehicles for over 30 years and never had a problem. The switches sold at swap meets for a couple bucks are the ones that give people problems.

        I like the guillotine switch as you can see when it is disconnected.

          This is the best most reliable style of disconnect. You can check to find other pricing.

            Agree with Paul. I have had a Wirth post type disconnect on my '59 for over 25 years and it is still working fine.

              There is a reason points are awarded for having a battery cut off switch. Even if you do not plan to have your car judged, a cut off switch is a MUST HAVE safety feature. It may save your garage & house from burning down some day. Insurance companies should offer a premium discount if you have one.

                  And don't forget, the bonus points are awarded for the package of three items, the shut-off switch, a fire extinguisher, and the NCRS decal on your window. Good luck and welcome!

                    As I recall if you have 2 of the 3 you get 6 points or 1 of the 3 you get 3 points and 3 of 3 gets you 10 points

                        Yes, you are correct, 3 pts. each, and 10 pts. for all three.
