Unprotected wires should be kept to a minimum. Those that are unavoidable should be "double insulated". My battery is located just behind the firewall on the passenger side floorboard. The #10 wire to the hydraulic package fuse is only about 14" long and protected with convoluted tubing. My main battery lead goes from the battery plus, through the firewall, to the master and starter solenoids mounted on the front of the firewall. In both cases, there is nothing for either wire to short against.
