It helps to start with a wiring harness. That takes you from the battery to
the firewall. Then get a Master switch and ignition switch from someone
like Aircraft Spruce. I used the bus bar unit in Aircraft Spruce catalogue.
The bus bar is a system to distributing the ground and hot electricity to
all the components while providing fuses to the different parts. You can
make it all yourself given time and inclination. Be sure to use the factory
latest wiring diagram.
