I'm gonna install one of these, but they don't seem to favor the side post battery. I found a knife switch disconnect at an RV shop, but something of the twist variety is better IMO.

For some reason, the top post style is easier to locate
locally but I have seen the side post versions at
speed shops occasionally - always over-priced.

Mid-America has both styles (link).

I see they are also available on eBay, but at only a
buck less than Mid-America, I'd say get it from M-A
(and pick up a bunch of other stuff from them, too.
Mid-America has always treated me right.)

I have one of those unscrew and tug type ones on my other car. I'd like to put a simpler switch/lever on here if its available.

Simpler ?

One or two turns of the **** on mine opens the
circuit.

My old version of this disconnect would separate
into two pieces. A more recent one is staked in
such a way that the halves always remain together.

Let me know what you settle on.

Ah ok. My other one looks similar but required pulling the cable out too.
