Hi Steve,

I had a cut off on one of  my Tigers and to get around this and keep the 
clock running, I used a 35 amp fuse across the battery cut off switch 
terminals.

This runs any load such as radio, clock and even parking lights. The 
only time it will blow if you forget to switch the main battery feed on 
or if someone tries to steal the car.


Regards

Jeff
