Hi,

Relocating the battery to the boot and want to do away with the big fuse near the battery in the standard setup.

The battery will be megafused so no worries there.

Does anyone know the gauge of the cable this is attached to, or the easiest way to find out? I only have 10mm terminals so not sure if I need bigger/smaller.

Cheers.

If you're relocating the battery to the boot you'll need a thicker cable than the original anyway mate. Mines 16mm squared for reference.

Thanks, sorry - I am using 25mm2 cable through a longacre connector and 175amp is to put a terminal on the standard wiring in the engine bay so I can connect it to a distribution block with the other cable from the fusebox.
