I want to instal original Bosch cut off switches, like on the original 914GT. One on the tunnel and one under the windshield driver side.

Does anybody have directions for the wiring?
Do you run from the battery all the way up front and back to the starter?

One thing to note about the older two pole style cutoff switches is that they don't protect your alternator if you ever need to shut off the engine while the car is running. The voltage spike from the alternator still spinning after the battery is taken out of the circuit can ironically ruin the alternator.
