I must have had HTML in my last response.  Let's try this again:

Cutoff switch is at http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/rebco5.htm 
.  I've got the REB-1601500 which has a couple of posts for the 
alternator too.  I MUCH prefer that switch over the models below it 
on that web page.  Much simpler wiring than the ones where the 
ignition goes through terminals on the switch.
