Battery relocate without cutting!
Ive been meaning to make this post for a year but never took pictures, now since ive got the battery out i may as well..
materials:
Summit trunk relocate kit
Hawker odyssey pc680 mini
First you have to remove the bins, (more of a bitch than it sounds) then i bolted the bracket from teh summit kit into the frame. Ran the wires for the battery and then strapped the battery into the bracket. It fits nicely between the rear bins and the frame. Absolutly no cutting needed and you can keep using the little storage space you have available.
The downside to this is that anytime you want to do anything with the battery the bins need to come out. But that dosent mean you have to take the bins out every time you want to disconnect the battery cause you can disconnect the wire upfront (however you choose)
heres the pics:
just another way to do stuff

Looks good, I really didn't want to cut my bins, but oh well.
I would highly recommend two things, a battery cut off switch and a fuse. You don't want to burn your car down.
One downside is that if you do any sort of track events, they always want to see your battery to make sure it is secure. I don’t know if you would pass tech.
