You could try Demon Tweeks. They do a range of Battery Isolation devices.
The best place to mount it would be in the front of the passenger seat box so the cables can be connected to the rear of it in the battery box.
You will need to get a short length of cable made up to link the battery to the isolator. Then connect the cable that goes to the starter solenoid to the other terminal.

When you look at one, make sure you are getting one that cuts everything, a friend bought one, wired it all up started the engine and with a big grin flicked it expecting it to cut everything out  and then it dawned he had got an isolator not a cut off switch (if that all makes sense)

An isolator on the battery will prevent it form starting or being bump-started  but as he says not jump started.  You can also get ones with a 5 amp fuse to keep the closk going but if someone tries to start it the fuse blows.  These are a good idea because it's then not as obvious that the battery is isolated 'till they try.

Also make sure your alarm is then wired direct to the battery.

The type you need is an FIA isolator, the key is removable and when you turn it you kill the engine, isolate the battery and protect the alternator. They cost about £22 and are easy to fit as long as you can follow a simple wiring diagram. Add a low capacity fuse to support the alarm etc.
I have fitted one to each of my LR's for 20-years and they have proved to be 100% reliable.

is it for vehicle security? if so then why not a key switch that intercepts the wire from the ignition to the starter motor ? maybe wire up a connection to the horn so that if some one goes to all the effort to smash and rewire your ignition when they touch the wires it beeps the horn, or even wire up a siren inside or something  :lol:
