    20200511_182812.jpg looking for ideas & pics of how to route the cables back to the battery will I have to drill a hole through the side of the radiator support to get into the engine bay?

    forgot to add . you don't need to go back to battery . just to starter
    a shut off switch isn't a bad idea too

    Here is a pix of mine.
    The control box is mounted in the bumper channel and the cables run underneath the fender to a master cut off switch.
