Default Battery relocation kits

Hi all, I'm after some pics of battery relocation jobs that have been done, specifically how the connections have been made under the bonnet as I'm looking to do mine in the coming weeks.

I have seen some kits that come with dummy terminals but I'm just looking for other ideas. Not too worried about the car going back to standard as if when I get rid of it I'll break it anyway

Cheers

Jon

Cheers mate, already seen that one and I'm looking to see what other ideas are out there.

There is a couple of flaws with that design too, I've always been taught to keep the earth lead as short as possible and on car equipment you should aim to be no more than abot 30cm hence the reason all earth straps are that short.

The whole distribution bit under the bonnet seems a little OTT to but that's why I'm looking around to see what else has been done

Once I've decided on the best way to do it I'd be happy to mate - it's only electrics after all
