Always seems to be something fix or upgrade. Neverending. But, we all like that right?
So, I wanted to move the battery into the trunk, and at the same time, use a AGM battery (26lbs vs 36lbs). Well, here it is mounted using the billet mount. The PO cut a hole in the trunk for starter access, so, I decided to put this to use. (Yes, I do plan to clean up the hole.) Someone else did something simliar, and I had asked about the wires that normaly attach to the positive post. So, I used a battery bulkhead connector and attached the wires using that. You can see it in this photo next to the petronix. Here's the post unmounted. Inside engine bay. More in next post.... (Still have to fix that big hole in the firewall, put new bars and shocks in the front, and fix an engine miss. <sigh> Don't think I am going to make the AX this weekend...) -- brett |

I kept things simple and put a PC680 in the stock location. I'd already shifted at least that much weight towards the front with a giant oil cooler and race fuel pump and filter in the front trunk.
