Hey all , recently purchased and half fitted a race plenum kit from Process West.

I dont like the idea of the batter sitting behind the front bar so I wanted to relocate it to the tray in the front rh corner, just chasing any ideas as to how I should route the cables ?? inside/outside ??

im open to all ideas , just basically want it neat and out of the way !!

cheers in advance for any feedback :dontknow:

Keep the cables nicely tucked away whether you go inside or outside just not anywhere too low that they could get caught on something and pulled out. Be cool to see some pics when your done.

I put mine on the left side. Ran the cables through the plastic tub and along the fuel lines to the the chassis and starter motor. I left the standard cables connected to a distro block where the standard battery used to sit.

Works fine.
