Last fall I found my father a 68 MGC.  The battery is located under the rear 
parcel shelf.  To be covered under his insurance he must disconnect the 
battery anytime the car sits overnight (british, to avoid fires).  The 
problem is removing the rear arcel shelf and disconnecting the battery is a 
royal PIA.  I told him I would install a battery cut off switch on the rear 
parcel and all he would have to do is turn the switch.  Now I have run into 
a few questions before I order the parts.

I looked at the battery cables yesterday and they said they were 1 GA.  I 
though most battery cables were 4-6 ga.  I can't find any terminals for a 1 
GA wire.  Also I thought the pos and neg terminals were different sizes on 
most batteries.  All the clamp and solidier on terminals I can find are 
universal.  Will these work properly?  Finally I'm looking at the Cut off 
switch from Pegasus pn 4431.  Does anyone know what diameter the studs are 
on that switch so I can order the properly sized ring terminals?

Thans for all your help.
