Default Over Kill On The Kill

I always like to have a battery disconnect on my old cars. To much of a hassle to open the floor all the time to shut the switch off. This time although not so pretty I mounted it as well as my battery tender on the updated solenoid. Now I don't have to bend over for either, just open the hood. My car is not a museum piece just a driver, looks good from 20 feet.

Would be nice if you could install a removable snap on non conductive cover over that
shut off to conceal it.

Here's what I did for my '39 p/u. Not a show truck by any means and it works for me. Pull the switch back to shut it off and push it forward to turn it on - sort of like activating an emergency brake.
