Battery Relocation

[gordyzx9r]

I'm having a pre-luber installed, and right now it looks like the best spot to put it will be...where the battery currently sits.

Still debating it, but we might move the battery to the trunk.

I thought for sure Casper's would make a battery relocation kit, but I don't see one listed.

Options?

Ideas?

I installed mine in the spare tire well and bought a cable kit with both the pos and neg cables from jegs
I then fabricated a cover to seal the battery from the trunk so i dont have to use a rear firewall or batterybox...I can post pics tomorrow if you like or if you need them

Check the rules on battery relocation I think you must put a master cutoff switch on the back of your car if you relocate your battery.

When I go to that track I simply remove 1 bumperette( 2 nuts) and extend the rod for the push off switch...then add masking tape and take a sharpie and write "PUSH OFF"
After racing is done, I removethe rod extension, reinstall bumperette, and peel off tape

Nice installation. How did you secure the battery underneath the tire well? Did you put a plate there or bolt to the frame?

Additionally, that hold down looks to be plastic?? If so, no dice, if the tech guy is looking....

Do you make a kit of some kind for this or can you custom make one? I have your positive battery extender and negative cables installed already. Bill Ragland is the gentleman doing this for me.

Actually, no, we never did a battery relocation kit. Just a lot of advice....

I used some flat steel stock and ran some 3/8 threaded rod top to bottom attached nuts wand welded nuts

I go thru tech with the battery covered when they look under the car and see the 3/8 rod and stock steel and the welded nuts they are happy with that...

After my camera charges a bit ill snap a few pic for all of you guys following the thread...
check back in a hour or 2...
