The disconnect should be on the ground side of the battery and if you have pos. ground then you will have to find a suitable switch.(bigger terminal)
If you are just disconnecting for the season then just remove the cable from the battery.

I meant to say that it is attached to the (+) battery terminal as shown in photo. Car is converted to 12V. If you look carefully at the photos you can see where I added a copper sleeve to the (-) terminal so that the OEM battery cable would fit. Very easy to make a sleeve. It's a Walmart battery.

For whats its worth I used the rotary in the floor on my truck project. Had never used one before. Probably a lot more bather to install one of these than one on the cable.

Chris
