thanks chaps i want to do some Motorsport so needs to be accessible from the front wing and inside the other option is to run the battery cable around to the switch in the wing cant really see anything on the internet as to how this should be done MSA is not really specific.

I always put the switch between the seats and run a cable across the big cross-member, along the RH inner sill and up to an external pull handle on the RH scuttle panel just in front of the screen. The ignition wire is then routed from ignitionn switch to the cut-off switch and from there to the coil.
Of course, the battery lead runs inside the car, as do brake & fuel lines, all in accordance with MSA regulations.

Here you can just see the switch between the seats on an aluminium bracket:
