How do I wire a cut off switch with a battery relocate kit? From what I understand on the Instructions I ground the negative cable to like the quad bolt shock. Then take a short piece of postive cable to one side of the switch. Then run a long piece of Postive cable from the other post on the cut off switch up to the starter soleniod then another postive cable to the starter from the starter soleniod. The do I run a ground from the starter to the block? Also does anyone have a pic of what wires go on the starter soleniod that shows which wires go on which side of the soleniod.

The starter is grounded out through the casing when it's bolted on.
It doesn't matter what side the cables are on the starter solenoid. aslong as they aren't on the same post (if you don't have the high torque mini-starter, it's wired differently) Naturally put all the 12v constant wires to the same post the battery goes on.

So I put all of the constant 12v wires on one side of the starter solenoid and also the postive cable from the cut off switch. Then put the wire for the starter on the other side of the solenoid? Everything else about the cut off switch is correct. Thanks for the help
