I would give some consideration to how the battery will vent.



I have seen first hand how dangerous the vapors from a battery can

be

well if it's one of those hawker/odyssey "drycell" batteries theres no venting to be concerned with, at least according to the manufacturers.

use the battery as a mount for your type r wing.

unless you are going to run a dry-cell type battery DO NOT PUT IT IN THE GLOVE BOX. In case of an accident and the battery ruptures, do you really want h2so4 on your passenger's legs??? Also, the lead core battery causes a vapor form of h2so4, and keeping that in a confined place, such as the glove box, might make for a hazard if you open the box up. From here there are a couple solutions.....



1) dry cell battery's (watch out for gel-cell, if they are charged too quickly they burst)



2) lawn tractor battery. They are MUCH smaller then a car battery, and I have a friend that has been running his SSB neon ACR off one for years, with no issues. You can keep it under the hood because of it's size.



If you are dead set on getting a battery relocated out of the engine bay, try a dry/gel-cell and install it as low on the passenger side as you can. this will help move the center of gravity closer to the middle of the car. There are a couple companies that make CNC battery tiedowns that are of show car quality. Some good blinging stereo battery terminals, and something like monster wire, would make the whole install look good, and still remain functional. gIvE iT dAt RaCeR lOoK FoOz!

Corprin, looks good, but can you include another pic for reference or tell us where it is. And don't say "the interior", I can tell that by the carpet. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
