thinking of doin this at some point after the summer..... but don't want to use the wheel well. Maybe next to the CD player, or the opposite (drivers side of boot)....
Adn you buy a bracket to secure it? use existing brackets? get one made up? I want it to as secure as possible for MOT etc........
Also, I'm guessing the thicker the cable the better. so 0 gauge or 2 gauge?
sorry for another question (or 2):
1) where do you get a small/race bettery from? and how much?
2) what kind of length do you need for cable? and how much does that cost?
how much are you roughly looking at for the whole lot
You can mount it anywhere dude if you like, I was tempted to put mine down behind the passengers seat as its so small but then thought well really want to move the weight back so can be mounted on other side of the CD changer.
Im securing it with a bracket designed for the battery, got the battery from merlin motorsport and the bracket from demon tweeks. Also wire came from merlin aswell but the wire in the engine bay is some I had left over from past ICE installs.
I've got 2 gauge from starter to dizzy block and then 2 guage to fuse panel but only running 4 gauge to battery and 4 gauge for the ground.
Will upgrade in time as I got flexi wire and 4 gauge is alot cheaper than 2 gauge flexi.
I got 6 meters of positive cable to go from the dizzy block to the boot and I got way way to much about meter and ahal of slack so going to reduce that soon, and also a half a meter ground which I will make as short as possible when I mount the battery properly.
Cable costs depends on the quality, i go good stuff so like £4.something a meter.
I spent £150 all together but that was the bracket and battery, you cna always use ur standard battery and make up a bracket or buy one that would fit. I need a new battery anyway so went all out.
