okay here is a link to what i have. It is just that the open end that goes on the battery is really small and so it the part where you put your open terminal on is to small for the hot. That is why i was wondering if you put it on the neg. side cause they are smaller. thanks

They are made for use with giant ring terminals.You bolt the ring terminal through the small hole.

make sure you interrupt the alternator charge lead too, or the car will stay running when you turn the switch to OFF.

Not necessary unless you are going through tech and then it will not pass because it it not on the out side of the car.
