Since I mounted my battery behind the co-pilot seat and the master relay is mounted on the elevator tunnel side, my console mounted breaker is only inches from the master relay (OK, maybe a foot or so). I think the Lancair scheme assumed that the battery was also mounted behind the baggage bulkhead. Those folks that put the battery on the firewall probably would have no problem mounting the breaker on the instrument panel.
