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 |

John,
Before you post all the pics.. let me finish testing a new piece of software that allows users to upload files and auto create a "readers rides" area. Chris, There is some advantage to be had by moving the battery lower in the car and towards the front. In cross weights we have found the best location to be about where the passengers feet would end up if somebody was in the passenger seat. Some orgs dont like the idea of a battery in the passenger area... so people just move them a littler farther forward (ends up about 12 inches from my reference) into the trunk. B |
