battery relocation
For my MkI I used a McMaster Carr battery tray instead of a plastic box. Also used the spare tire
well since I won't be carryig a spare (previous install was my DD). This time I ran the welding
cable inside along the driver's sill and drilled a hole through the firewall, protected with an
Ace Hardware grommet. Still used the center rear seatbelt mounting point for ground.
End result: less than $50 IIRC. Solid as a roc.
