Hi Everyone,

I am just replumbing my supply lines to the Master Cylinder and re installing my fuel tank.

One thing I need to start thinking about is my Battery Mount and possibly Box type to secure it. I have located my fuel pump in the trunk as well.

Could I see some Battery Boxes and how you have secured them? I am have a new Red Top Optima Battery for the car from a size point of view etc.

Much thanks, Grant

I would keep it in the stock location. Won’t need long cables. Won’t take up room in the trunk, helps balance out driver weight, etc. no downside if it’s a sealed battery.

If you do this make sure you use heavy duty grommets every point the cable passes through metal.
That battery has enough juice to burn your teen to the ground.

I hadn't thought about a simple metal strap. I had been mostly focused on bolting it to the floor and using some form of rubber to isolate from jumping around in frunk.

Mark's comments re Grommets...absolutely! I have been inserting Grommets everywhere but truly thank you for reinforcing a good idea.
