Battery disconnect.
Anyone know who sells a quality "Green ****" battery disconnect switch for post type batteries. I have one of each type (blade and ****) on my C-3's.
I just ordered one of the Greenies from Summit, and it turns out to be a cheap piece of "you know what". I ordered my previous one from an advertiser in the Driveshaft magazine of the NCRS, and it turned out to be quality. I gave away my last copyes of the the magazine and can't look for the ad. I'd like to order another. Does anyone have a copy of the Mag.?
I would use the blade type, but I have space issues on the application I plan to use, and a blade type is too tall.
Any suggestions? Ralph.

I have a disconnect with the red plastic key, and it works fine.
But I also have an alarm that when it is set, shuts off the electric fuel pump.
All well and good.
But today, as I fished out the red key, I thought what I would really like
is a relay that I could use to disconect the battery, like the fuel pump,
with my security alarm switch on my key fob. And not have to fish out the key everytime.
Now, I don't have enough electrical experience to know what relay would work,
but I bet somebody on this forum does. Any help?

Check out NAPA. I got one there I am pleased with. It came with a fused jumper so I can maintain power to my stereo memory when using it as an anti-theft device. Easy enough to pull the fuse when I need to completely disconnect the power.
