Anyone with a battery relocate?

[JymboSlice]

Hey, if anyone out there has a battery relocation kit, post up some pics of how you mounted it in your trunk. Im trying to decide where to drill the holes for it.

Thanks.

I put mine on the passenger side of the trunk. (more area) I welded mine in.

yeah im putting mine on the passenger side too.. did you weld the box to the sheetmetal or what? and can you get the battery in and out easily?

I have mine on the drivers side, used a Taylor Aluminum Relocation box, one thing with these cars is you gotta make sure you have a good ground for the battery. You will be chasing alot of problems with a quick dying battery and a car that is impossible to tune without the proper grounds.

I have the Taylor aluminum box mounted in the right rear corner of my trunk. I can't take any pics because my Mustang is 25 miles away in my parents' garage. I drilled holes and attached it to the trunk. Definitely run a ground all the way from the engine to the battery though. You'll thank me later, as you won't be chasing your tail with issues.

I would put it on the passenger side of the trunk. It help weight distribution overall.

Use some nice thick cable. I would run a ground from up front AND ground it to a frame rail. Drill a hold and put a grommet in. Make sure to scrape the paint off the frame rail before you attach the ground to it.

There's actually a grommet up on the package deck under the rear speakers, IIRC. I have my cable to the frame attached to the quad shock mounting bolt.

Thank you all, i will most likely go with the 2 ground straps. One up front and one in the back. I appreciate all the help and will probably just drill holes and bolt the box in the trunk.

I ground mine to the quad shock. I also made my own brackets and used lag bolts to secure them in the trunk. My spare tire cover is outlined with 3/4" plywood though
and carpeted over so it is quite strong and also has two amps and a large box on it.

No probs and nothing moves at all. ever.
