Battery relocation supplies

Post by **Thebusofwoe** » Sun Apr 27, 2014 12:52 am

Hey chaps.

Does anyone know where would be the cheapest place to get cable, connectors etc. to do a battery relocation to the boot?
I have looked at a few online shops and the bay of E, but damn this stuff is pricey!!

Any help would be great.

Thanks chaps

Ratty and Nafeman have a nice write up on their profile thread.

I want to move my battery in the boot.

All I needed was 2 large machine screws/washers/nuts that go through pre made holes in the chassis.
5m of 0awg cable. I use knukonceptz flex cable because it's flexible. Dizzy block too.

Just finishing mine off, I got a whole host of tools and parts as my electrical side of tools was lacking. Most stuff was Ebay and here: http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk

This helped a lot too:

Try a breakers yard, cars like e39 5 series BMWs have a real thick positave cable that runs from the boot, untouched to the drivers floor on the M5 and further up under the lhs of the gearox tunnell/bulk head in the engine bay of non M models and q very well constructed earth cable in the boot held on with a 13mm nut.from there a small neat tie down strap to keep the battery in place or try to get a Corsa B battery tray and either bolt or weld that in your boot.

Short of weight distribution, what other benefits are there of doing so?
