Mounted the switch this morning-brand is Taylor. Very similar to Cole-Hersee and good for 180 amps continuous. Fits nicely but there is a body flange close to side. Needed to use the extra back nut included for thin panels to space it out so flange could clear the large diameter switch body. This prevents using just the knob inside as it will be below firewall carpet--unless I make a presentable spot on firewall and finished hole or cutout in panel and carpet just large enough for knob. Not sure I like that idea so an extension will most likely be used. Question now is whether to bring it to back of dash near emerg brake and somewhat out of sight or just long enough to put the knob at surface of carpet.

Since the ground cable will pass near the PB relays, have decided insulated cable is needed rather than the flat braided stock type originally planned when switch was going to be mounted in front. 2 sections-1 lug to lug and other top post terminal to lug. Napa shows it available locally so will pick that up.
