Ok, I'll fess up. I'm using a 2" (or so) length of 1/8" thick 1" wide 
ALU bar. One end bolts onto the garden tractor battery terminal. The 
other end has a 5/16" (?) hole for one of the switch terminals. All of 
this "hot side" is wrapped with electrical tape (or could be painted 
with the fluid isolator stuff) to prevent any dropped tool or wire or 
what have you, from shorting the hot side to ground.
