Relocating battery

[rickyquicky]

I'm putting the battery behind the passenger seat in my car, have bought suitable cable, interior is all stripped and have battery straps/cables mocked up its all nearly ready to go.

Only problem now is my positive feed now goes through the bulkhead and needs to join where the old cables are, what's the best connector to use to join this up?

Is there like a terminal tray type thing I can use from another car to join the cables, if so, which car?

Why have you moved it. Have you filled the space with a big turbo or somthing?

Good shout cheers!

How did you guys mount these? I need to mount the ecu somehow now i've binned the standard tray, I suppose the 2 could sit together on a home made mount where the battery was...

I took the ecu out and cable tied it down to the engine mount. The join box was fixed to a bolt somewhere near the fuse box.

Christoper has the same box I have used, I've also used one on a Focus RS in the past and it a handy bit of kit.

there is a small threaded stud up on the near side turret it slipped on to, and then a nice 10mm M6 nut fitted perfectly

there may even be a picture in my old project thread.
