Build request for power shut off switch_98-02

[Mike NXP]

Hey,


I tried posting on some other forums and the closest I got to a solution was with owl expedition @Ramathorn15 who has the perfect part but is unfortunately not manufacturing them at this time.
>>100 Series Land Cruiser and LX470 Accessory Tray - https://owlexpedition.com/products/100-series-land-cruiser-and-lx470-accesory-tray

Yota MD makes a slick part but it's for the newer versions that don't have the EVAP stuff there
>>Battery Switch Bracket for 06-07 Land Cruiser and 06-07 LX470 - https://www.yotamd.com/products/battery-switch-bracket-for-06-07-100-series-land-cruisers-and-lx470



So here is what I am currently working with. Gravity + zip ties. Ordinarily this wouldn't bother me, but the cruiser tends to get treated better than my other vehicles and I want it all prim and proper.

Anyone out there fabricate up another solution to mount this shut off switch near the battery?

Good find. I don't think I have the space or skill to figure out where to mount that. I think the option posted from Owl Expedition might be the only thing that will work over on the battery side.

Bump to see if anyone else out there has a solution that will mount a power shut off switch in the space near the battery / fuse box.

I made a bracket similar to the mount that guy offered. You can’t really tell but it mounts to the bottom where there were some bolts mounted into nutserts. It’s definitely got room for improvement but there’s some usable space in that area.

Sounds like I need to find someone local to fabricate something up for me, I don't have any metal fab tools or skills.

So the mount appears to be shaped like an "E" without the top part of the E. Bottom leg of the E mounts to vehicle, middle leg supports the switch.

Did you need to install the nutserts or do we already have threaed bolt holes down there? I only recall the one for the ground mount but need to double check.

Yeah exactly! Theres a nut for the ground mount and then another pretty shallow one more towards the front of the vehicle. A good idea would be to slot the mount holes of the bracket to make it easier to install.

You can make something simple with a quick trip to Home Depot. They sell 1/8" angle aluminum and small aluminum sheets. Easy to cut, even with a small hack saw. Drill and rivet the pieces together, a few washer or shims as spacers to help level and bolt down.

Fab it up out of chip board or card board and take that to some metal shops to get it fab-ed up. I've found that many bigger shops "enjoy" doing a smaller different job and are quite reasonably priced.
