Kit For Battery Relocation? Is there a kit out there for battery relocation that works well? For those that relocated, what did you use, can you pass on any learnings? I've heard that some people had a hard time getting the car to start unless they used welder's cable . . .

Re: Kit For Battery Relocation? Just buy the summit racing sealed aluminum battery box. Throw a 4x4 in the spare tire well and slip the box right in. Bolt it up and that takes care of that piece. Then wire up a Flaming River disconnect switch with the positive of the battery going into one contact with a piece of 2GA wire. Run another section of 2GA from the battery side of the disconnect to the alternator. Take another 2GA wire up to the fuse box and a jumper to the starter from the other side of the disconnect. Ground the battery to the frame under the wheel well area. Ground the motor to the frame as well. I just used a audio grounding lug bolted through the frame. No misfires, flashing headlights, etc. Everything runs great. Here's a zip file of some pictures: http://www.derty.org/382SR/battery.zip
