    Battery Relocation Kit
    « on: February 23, 2015 - 05:24:40 PM »
    Hey Guys,

    I'm in the middle of my restoration of my 71 Challenger Convertible and was thinking about cleaning up the engine bay by installing a battery relocation kit in the trunk.

    What are your opinions on this (good vs bad?). Is it easy to do? I'd like to buy an entire kit to make it easier. I would also include a shut off in the trunk. I've seen some posts but many are old and I would like a current way to do it if there are better components, etc. I know I want to stick with 1 gauge wire also.  Let me know your opinions. Thanks

    What box size should I shoot for?  I want to make sure I get the right size.  Does anyone have a preference between the plastic or aluminum box?

    I'm thinking of the ones below let me know. If you have a better one please let me know.  Thanks

    Those do have the 1 gauge welding wire and I would rather just buy the complete kit.

    I bought a kit from Mancini when I did mine in my '71 Challenger.  I opted for the plastic black box so it blended in.
