Schedule C. (j) Each automobile of the 2nd and 3rd Category shall be equipped with a battery isolation (master) switch which isolates the battery and stops the engine, and:
(i) it shall be capable of being operated by the driver in his normal seated position;
(ii) there shall be a second switch, or a remote means of operating the main switch, from the vicinity of the base of the A pillar on the driver’s side or, for an automobile with no A pillar, in a comparable position; and
(iii) each external device shall be clearly marked by a symbol showing a red spark in a white- edged blue triangle of minimum edge length 150mm;
Now for us the logical place to put such a switch is where the rear power run meets the fuse box on the drivers side next to the firewall. However, without a cabin cable this does not meet the requirements for j.i., that it must be operable from the driver in the normal seating position.
I can easily run a cable to the cabin to meet this requirement (along with the cable up the A-pillar). But i am wondering if there is another method that is commonly used on our cars.
What have other people done?
