Hey guys
those of you who have relocated the battery to the hatch - how did you do it? Did you run two leads back to the hatch, basically extending the old leads? Or did you just ground it in the back somewhere? What gauge wire did you use? Any suggestions on where/how to hide wires, or run them through the firewall? thanks -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

deffinatly ground it in the trunk, make sure you have a good ground.
Ive seen it done with 4 gauge wire without any problems, but I would consider possibly bigger but I like overkill. |
