all you need to do i think mate is every cable that went to the negative turminal earth to the body then put the batterie were you want it run the positive to the front then hook up all the possitive cables sorted

thats other way mate, thats the body shell earthing to the battery :lol: :wink:

as said, just take all the wires on the neg terminal currently, sand a patch of paint off the shell and bolt the wires to that point on the shell, done

Mines been fine leaving just the earth to where the headlight is remeber all the other earths are already connected to the body

Just make sure you have a good connection for your battery earth to the body

Happy wiring :D

Thats a junction box, surprisingly enough a battery box holds the battery ;)
