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 |
