289 FIA battery cut off switch
What would be the authentic, or near accurate , location for a battery cut-off switch on the 289's?  |

I don't know myself and maybe some of the members that have original cobras would know but I'm wondering if they even used cut off switches back then?

I do believe they did use cut off switches them. I believe the correct location is behind the passenger seat. Anybody else.

Actually, a true FIA is a racecar...so it must be reachable and visible.
Most I have seen were mounted right thru the dash, or on a panel between the two down-struts under the dash.

Ron,
What is the red pull next to the cut-off in the center picture? Fire bottle?

Yup. Red-Tee handles are usually the fire bottle. Says "Pull Fire" on the handle.
(just noticed we are in the Texas Club forum...you want this moved to All Cobra Talk??)

Ron,
Looking at that center picture again I can also see the back up fire bottle between the seats... I guess you just unscrew it and pour it over your head or between your legs- the choice being the drivers...  |

I thought Casa just figured that the boys in TX had some better insight. Don't mess with Texas
