In 1972 I had a wiring harness fire in my first Model A. Thankfully the damage was minimal. I’ve installed a battery disconnect switch in every Model A I’ve owned since that incident. Lesson learned.
Easy access to the switch in an emergency is often overlooked. Cutting the power could be the difference between minimal damage and total loss. When seconds count the fire department is minutes away.
Some models can be challenging to find a location for the switch. There are some really clever solutions out there. The attached photo is my current 1929 Tudor. I can easily reach the switch from the driver’s seat.
