Default Who makes/sells complete batt relocation kit?

Looking for a complete kit with rear holder that is a simple yet clean looking setup. I have seen plenty of pics of some homeade stuff that looks like crap. Looking to either purchase a light weight batt or a complete "bolt in" relocation kit that looks like it was supposed to be there. Anybody know of anything or any pics? Thanks guys.

Burkhart chassis can set you up.

Remember you have to have sealed box or a bulkhead setup if you want it to be NHRA legal.

I would do a dry cell in the rear. I just want it as clean as possible. I would most likely not due a bulkhead in the rear just yet. Local 1/8 mile (no tech) lol. I have seen it listed on his site before but really no info or install pics to judge from.

burkharts or umi's tray would go in the spare tire well. it hangs off of the frame. put it as close to the front of the car as you can, it gets tight in there. i would really recommend doing it right with a box though, moroso blue box is nice. buy good cable off of egay. throw a cutoff switch in there too if you want. its really all up to how clean you wanna do it.

Just to make sure you understand, no matter what battery you have back there it needs to be in a sealed box or have a bulkhead. You might not care about tech, but I just wanted to let you know, just in case.

Burkharts kit comes with all wires fasteners, and the aerospace battery mount. You can install anyway you please. If you dont care about tech, order that up put it inside the plastic panel on the passenger side, wire it up and do a clean switch setup and it will basically be hidden by all.

I don't mind having an internal switch. Just not ready to drill for an external switch setup. I did not know you still needed a sealed box for a dry cell. I would put it in a case either way then. Thanks for the help.

bulkhead like the firewall in your car between you and the engine. wolferacecraft sells one and if you search on here, there are a few cool setups.

Look at my car in the gallery section of our site to see an NHRA legal bulkhead. We also have the relo kit for 350.00. It included the switch, wiring and terminals for 2 batteries, and the tray.

Does it also include a sealed box or a spare tire area bulkhead of some sort? One or the other is required, correct? Even with a sealed battery, correct?

i was loookin into this as well. I mean summit has a setup but you'd still have to get a box to put it in and then a kill switch to be legal but it is cheap. The burkhart thing sounds good but is pricey. I really dont wanna piece together a bunch of things either rather buy a kit haha.

We do not include a box or bulkhead. we do include better cable than the summit stuff.
