Race Battery Relocation

[AdamCup]

Where have you race/track people mounted your race battery ? The floor is too uneven to mount it flush and securely.

I know mine's a 172, but mine is where the 4 bolts are at the back of the boot.

It's on it's side in a cage.

My battery is mounted behind the passenger seat.

just mount it flat where it normally goes.

Between the passenger seat rails flat on the floor. Put some closed cell foam down. Bolts some steel strap straight through the floor.

The floor is absolutely fine under passenger seat

As low down as possible hence behind the passenger seat...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to mount it like @John Lindsay and @eon172 have done it :up:

Just remembered, that's an old photo of mine, as later on I modified it to move it as far back in that foot well as possible, similar to John's. Reason being - to allow me to get the passenger seat as low and as far back as possible.

eBay if I remember correctly bud. Think it’s the same guy that sells the carbon foot plates for the Clios too.

Hi, sorry for high jacking this post, im also going to be relocating my battery to behind the passenger seat.
Is it necessary to fit a second in line fuse close to the battery?
Thanks in advance

I would do away with the fuse in the engine bay and crimp on an eyelet and then fit a mega fuse right after the battery.
Makes for a neater connection in the engine bay doing away with the fuse
