Battery Relocate?

raptor · 03-09-2003, 10:05 PM

Hey people, I'm wanting to relocate my battery to the hatch of my 88 GT notchback. I'll be using 4 guage welder ground cable as I have 45ft of it. Any tips or tricks?
Thanks

Make sure you have a good ground or you will be having problems starting..

You need to use a larger cable than the 4gage. I'd highly reccomend using 1/o welding cable.

Also, as smokedawg mentioned, make sure you get good grounds.
