Hi peeps, thinking of lobbing the battery in the boot.... What's the best way to do it, I assume you earth it to the boot floor, but what grade / spec cable is best to use? And just join the new power lead to the old ones with a distribution block, with a fuse the power lead?
Thanks

 

have a look at mine here https://passionford.com/forum/restor...rbo-zvh-7.html

page 7 shows the wire and fuse box i used

 

Find a bmw 3 or 5 series in scrappy as they have battery in the boot and use those cables

 

s type, x type jag as well

 

Or, I could just go out to the e46 on my drive!? Didn't Think of that, what a nob! Lol Thanks!

Thanks mate, ill have a look on your link....

 

Thanks, looking really cool! I hadn't banked on needing to run anything other than a longer pos cable to a distribution block!? The reason for moving the batt was to free some space, partly for a washer bottle, but thinking it would be far less fucking about to stick the washer bottle in the boot! At least the bastard probably wouldn't freeze up! Lok
