It all began with a problem that needed a solution.
Super Beetle Solutions was established out of my professional experience in the restoration of vintage VWs.
As the owner of State of Mind Customs in Pontiac, Michigan, the products you will find available here are solutions that make sense for our customers and have been brought to market as a solution that will work for you.
Our Disconnect Switch assemblies allow battery power kill for purposes including fire and theft (keyed) protection. We offer Beetle coupe lever type or keyed (all models) and Beetle convertible lever type or keyed (all models).
Our customers were asking for a simple way to kill battery power without removing the back seat. Many of our customers have newer radios installed with memory running in the background or air ride suspensions etc., that rob battery power if left connected. When we first started installing disconnect switches, we were crimping our own cables because the factory battery cables had to be modified first in order to be installed. We were hand fabricating every bracket and other related parts. We found this was not an acceptable installation from quality, labor-time and cost perspectives. The process was inefficient and expensive. In the shop, we wanted to use a high quality product at a reasonable price, and no one offered what we bring to you.
Our bracket assembly is made custom for us in the United States and is plated
Our main cable is custom made for us in the U.S. by a cable company
Our boot covers are made in the U.S.
Our disconnects and brackets have a D slot anti-rotate (very important) and are plated to resist corrosion
Battery charger and life line compatible
The products you find here are solutions that will work for you - we know they will work because we install these products and our customers use them every day.
