Time for the battery cables. I used #1 Hy-flex battery/welding cable. The main run will be between the bulkhead connectors at the front to the battery, disconnect switch and main fuse in the trunk.
Began by crimping the terminals to the cables. This end will be at the front (bulk head connectors).
Pulled the other end through to the trunk.
The cables run to the trunk along the pinch weld on the passenger side door jamb. I will fab up some sheet metal covers later for along the door jamb. There will be a false floor at the front foot well area. The carpet will make all of this disappear.
The smaller hole to the right is for the starter solenoid lead. Waiting on the small bulkhead connector parts to arrive.
This is a body ground stud which is located just behind the rear seat bulk head in the trunk. The small wire is the fuel pump ground.
These are the battery terminals, I chose them because I like the fact that the cables can attach with ring terminals.
This is the negative terminal with the 8 ga. body ground lead.
This is the crimper I used on the battery terminals. A bit of an old school tool borrowed from work.
In this shot you can see the positive cable routed up the rear bulk head to the main fuse mounted on the bottom of the package tray.
Then from the line side of the main fuse to the disconnect switch and then down to the battery.
At this point I moved the car back over to the lift. Pushed her outside to move her over and couldn't resist posting a few pics of what she looks like so far.
