A quick note for Dan--

Your advice is good. 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.
