The Ford Barn

On my 34 and 36 Fords, using the original battery box and not resorting to Optima batteries, adding shut-offs to the top of the battery post makes the height factor of the battery an even bigger issue. One can no longer use the wooden cover and I have torn an expensive NORS tan floor mat in my 34 3W, by frequently reaching under the mat to shut to twist off the master electrical shut-off dial. Any ideas for better placement of the shut-off or other creative solution? I'm considering abandoning the master shut-off's, which frankly, I didn't use on any of my cars for a couple of decades.
