Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods another battery relocation question?

i was wondering what you do with the 3 wires on the pos. side and the 3 wires on the neg. side that are soldered to the plates?

I put mine into a fuse block for the positive side, then ran the wire to the rear. On the negative side, you can just climp connector them and ground them with a spade connector. I once used aluminum spade lugs for 8 gauge wire and ran a grade 5 bolt thru them and soldered. Or use a fuse block.

I haven't done this yet, so take it for what it's worth. What i plan to do is run the + wires into a distribution block with the main cable running back to the battery (duh). As for the - wires, mine look like they're all on ringh terminals just screwed onto the terminal, so I plan to just ground them to the chassis, put a ring terminal on the - cable in front and bolt that to the chassis as well. Like I said, I haven't done this yet so I don't know how it will work. Hope it helps.

thanx for all your info,i'll be going with the dist. box anfd i'll ground the (-) plate to the chassis on the fender well.
