Can anyone provide a diagram and/or pictures for wiring the battery cut-off when relocating the battery to the front?

Part of the advantage to locating it next the the x-brace (besides weight distribution) is the shorter battery cables. Does this get thrown out the window if you want to run a battery cut-off switch?
I was thinking of mounting the switch on the firewall, above the trans cover and below the dash, but I'm concerned that you can't reach it without un-buckling (similar to the e-brake dilemma).

So I guess my second question is, where did you mount your cut-off switch (assuming you are running a front mount battery. completely different situation with a rear mount)

Thanks!

Mine is on top of the transmission tunnel. I have also seen it mounted low on the firewall just above the transmission tunnel (under the dash).

I say why bother. You have easy access to the battery. When have you ever needed to unplug your battery in a hurry in any vehicle. Just my opinion of course. Flame away.
