its a mystery to me Group: Members Posts: 1,826 Joined: 17-March 03 From: Marriottsville, MD Member No.: 434 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
Ok, I am going to relocate the battery. Should I cut out my battery tray and use it as the mounting plate in the front trunk?
( I got a new welder so this should be fun!!) Has anybody then ran the positive cable back to the stock location? I have a kill switch there, so I thought it should stay. The longest battery cables that I saw are 4 gage, 78 inches. Too short? Welding cable? This should get me about 30 # on my right front wheel, side to side weights are equal, cross weights are off by a little, with the right front wheel the lightest. This is for a minimal street/maximum track car... Thanks, herb |

Gint,
I ordered the wiring kit through Jeggs or Summit. Nothing fancy.......just choose the Painless brand through word of mouth. It was listed as a rear trunk battery location kit.......cost was about $50. I can look it up if you need more detail. From what I remember, there weren't many choices. I found the bulkhead connectors and addition brass lugs at my local hotrod shop. A step above a auto parts store. I think I spent about $5-8 on these total. Again, if you can't find these, let me know and I'll get more information or send you what you need. Sorry, but I don't have a website. It's all I can do to get around the BBS. I've had many requests for pics from guys all over the place. Maybe I'll get better organized and post my entire build here. It sure would save me alot of time as apposed to sending pics to individuals. I would have given my right nut to have pics during the build. Would have saved a trip for two to Vegas! John |
