Battery Relocation...

[Danlp6]

Yesterday i relocated my battery to the boot with the kinf help from my mate who is an electrician who also supplied all the cable and lugs! Yes the terminals have been changed since, as i got there, then realised after doing all the connections i didnt have any new terminals with me :oops:

what are the benefits of relocating it then dan?

[MAXIBOY]

more space if your running a turbo conversion etc. also if you relocate to the rear passenger footwell better weight distribution.

[VIPERONE]

what sort of wire did you use?

i have enough to route one side through but not the other :-|

what route did you take to rig it in?

[steve740]

oh right!! so is it possible a turbo may be on the cards danny boy or is it the weight distribution your after?!?! 8)

[MAXIBOY]

only need to do the live. earth mounts on any good fixing. rear seat belt mount.

[Danlp6]

no turbo on the cards. just weight distribution. im getting a box made up.
