Ignition cut-off switch

Hi guys,

I'm currently working on a project car that I will be using for club racing next year hopefully if all goes well. So far Ive swapped the engine, prepared the electronics and gave it a paint job. Im trying to do most of the work myself so its a "learn-as-you-go" project. Ive heard that the club I will be joining requires you to have an ignition cut-off switch placed behind the bonnet just down the bottom of the windscreen on that plastic surface (where the whipers sit).

I would like to do this using a smaller switch. In other words, I would like to use this one:



instead of this one:



My main problem is the smaller connecting points on the small switch. Can I connect big battery wires to such small connectors/plates?

Im not an electrician so I dont know if there might be a problem running the current through such a small switch. It has been done before I just dont know where to start.

If anyone has any clue on how to do this, please let me know.

Thanks.
