I use a switch in all of my cars. When I got my very first one, it was fitted with one of those horrible ones that fit on top of the battery - the ones with a green wheel on them. NEVER use one of those. Their life is very short and they can leave you stranded on the side of the road. Don't ask how I know.

I don't get the picture, maybe there's different quality switches. I keep hearing horror stories about the battery mounted switches. I have one that's been on a vehicle (not a Model A) for 10 years and never a problem w/it. Vehicle gets used about once a month.
