    Boot mounting the battery

    Anyone know how you do this?

    Is it just a case of extending the battery leads into the boot?

    Cheers

    Basically, yes. But for safety you will need to get it in a sealed box as well. Which is basically why I havent done it yet, but I may do soon so I can fit a new induction kit

    Aint worked out a route yet, i think drilling on a none seential part of the bodywork might be involved then possibly some silicone sealant and a large rubber grommet in the hole to prevent leaks.

    Then probably run the cables under the carpet.

    I've got loads of holes in mine. No need to drill any extra holes, so would just route it the easiest way using existing holes, making sure it wont chaff on anything sharp.
