unless your building a dedicated track car i dont see the point in fitting an isolation switch..
sometimes you are the pigeon, most of the time the statue.

Range hyperstores sell them very cheaply
Strange though seems Range are a handy place to buy bubble packed car electrical odds and ends.

Not sure why it's called a kill switch, it doesn't kill the alternator so the engine would continue running if used in an emergency.

The expensive solid state ones apparently are spark proof.I'm not sure though I would trust a semiconductor to isolate huge amounts of current
other than instantaneously. 
Easy to implement engine kill facility on cheap isolating switches such as the Autolec with a bleed resistor grounding alternator output.

I bought the one with brass connections & pin as opposed to "looks like copper but is actually steel."
I payed a little more but then I'm like that.
Why?
So that when I park those mothers that allow their little darlings to play with the switches don't flatten the battery.
