    To much hassle that style of switch, I just use a single circuit one. Basically its just a switched live (like a light switch but not). Not FIA compliant but for road use its more then enough.

    Trouble with that though is it won't kill the engine when you switch it off as the engine will continue to draw power from the alt, therefore calling it a kill switch is inaccurate. its a battery isolator
