The earths that you are left with at the front that origanally went to the battery bolt them to the chassis of the car.
A good motor factors should be able to supply you with a length of battery cable if not look for your local 'DURITE' dealer as these people make it.
Rally design and demon tweeks sell battery box's which should help you secure the battery in the wheel well.
