Is there a simple fix for this?Also, do I just need to run one cable from the positive terminal to the place where the cable was and then earth the negstive, or run the negative back as well as earthing it?

Is the kit they have maybe discontinued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt like a wet battery in my boot Edited 22/05/11 01:57 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made one myself but you can purchase this and have the batterry sitting behind the left front foglap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they are doing so well they don't need my business. Bit of a shame, not even a courteous reply to say "sorry we are not interested with any more customers" So has anyone got any more advice on how to relocate the battery to the passengers side?

The kit was designed to keep the battery in the engine bay utilising a dry cell battery.The kit comprises of 800 CCA dry cell battery, battery tray and wiring. It is easily installed, only needing one 8mm diameter hole to be drilled for mounting with the remaining supports locking into original Ford mounting points.
