If someone more knowledgeable would comment on whether this was a smart or stupid idea, it would be helpful, but while the seats were out I added sound-deadening material with adhesive to the floor and a foil mat over that. I also did my battery cover that way.
(About that toggle switch: I added a converter alongside the battery to get 12V Negative to my cigar lighter to charge my iPhone on longer treks. I leave it off most of the time.)
I'm not sure about wood being an insulator. I remember someone telling me back in the day that there was no chance this item would catch fire because the label said it was "highly INflammable." But I digress.
I sat on a wooden seat of Chris Becker's homemade Mercer replicar and I was fat enough that something touched something under me and smoke started coming from my seat just as in the limerick. The battery had started a fire.
An undated photo of the Mercer is also attached.
