Hey im relocating the battery to the boot,just befor i go drilling holes in the floor for fixing, i thought i\'d check make sure there is nothing below, ie the fuel tank!! i know its there somewhere but will i be ok using the floor as the fixing point right behind the back seat,on the passenger side?cheers rob
I\'m sure others with more knowledge will jump in, but from what i have read in some of the other battery mounting threads, the area you are talking about will probably clip the fuel tank!
There was an excellent thread somewhere on here where someone did a complete walkthrough of their battery relocation (including underside pics of bolts holes + fuel tank, etc) - but i can\'t find it now :(
quick bump i need to do this tomorrow ready for japfest saturday
i just ran mine along the passenger side trim and threaded it through the aircon grommit.. then just earth it to the abs box in the boot or chassis, just remove the paint so its bare metal onto the chassis, i cn talk you through it if ya like, numba`s 07950670545
cheers
I\'ve got mine tied down using the 2 threaded studs in the middle of the boot behind the back seat. You just need to bend and drill some flat bar and use that as a clamp.

Dude, fix it properly, please - that\'s basically an unsecured acid filled projectile in the boot :(
Mine is secured on one side to one of the studs used to mount the Bose gubbins, and on the other side i\'ve hooked the original battery clamp through a hole in the boot floor that\'s already there, then used the stock clamp over the top - i\'ll get a piccy tomorrow :)
I\'m not happy at all with it though - needs to be more secure than that :(
I bought a universal battery tray off ebay and bolted that to the floor, it\'s fairly sercure mounted on the tray or you could go with interloper and use some sticky back velcro Lol
only messin with ya interloper!!
its a sealed battery man lol so it`ll be more like a slab of concrete smacking me in the back of the head :D
ok thanks people for your help,its looking like its not gonna stop raing down here so gonna have to put my pit tent up and work under that!
