Battery cut off in motor compartment?

After rewiring My 1952 M38A1 with a new electrical harness, and having the engine rebuilt all seems well. Two lingering issues I have had and wonder if others have answers for.

New Seats for My M38A1

The Passenger side seat I believe is original and the driver is a newer non-regulation seat. Where is a good place to get good seats and backs for my jeeps without spending alot?

Engine

The garage that rebuilt it, rebuilt it entirely. I do know that they put it together wrong for the fact it was out of time and the oil pump timing was off and a few screws were loose.

Wiring the jeep, there are two wires that go into the steering box. There was no information on what they are actually for? Not turn signals or pressure gauges?
Looking for gromlets that go through the firewall for the wires. Anyone have them or a go place to get them>

In the last two pictures, the main switch, I looked at the kiaser willy catalog and didn't see one. Do they carry them or just not on the site? I'll call Monday but what is the tech name for it?
And it is an assembly or buy the whole thing>

What I meant by Better place, I was thinking someone out there may know a place cheaper than the $700 I see as the cheapest through the big guy companies. I realized maybe it is better through there cause they do know what there doing.. Dan
