Saphire Cosworth
Get the same cable as you've got if not bigger. I'm not that knowledgeable on wiring - but if you make it longer (ie putting it in the boot) then don't you increase the resistance ?? Anyone ?? It'd be best to check first.
you only need to run the +ve cable back to the boot, and then earth the battery onto the shell in the boot
i'd get 6m of cable to be safe, 4gauge is fine (MUCH cheaper from a welding shop) if not halfrauds have it
install a cut off switch if you want
terminals etc from a car stereo place
on a 172/182 you need to extend the starter motor cable by about 12-18inches approx
i tend to install a distribution block into the std fuse box, but this isn't needed, i just do it to make installation easy
there's a huge current draw from the starter motor, i normally use 120amp cut off switches
you need a battery box for your std battery, or a redtop race battery (the little ones) is about £70-80
