Fitted in the new battery tray and fits good, smaller than a N70 size and only 260mm wide


Start battery and controller wired up - thinks its correct ? it works when tested per the specs


Wiring across the other battery

Tidy install Matt. Is there a reason you ran the Battery -ve to the engine block and not the side of the engine bay like the main batt -ve?

That's what the ABR instructions told me to do with the aux earth Craig. The block is always a better earth and no paint either I say..

I remember many years ago my first cars always had the -ve on the engine block and has now gradually changed to the body. Perhaps ( just guessing) due to the fact that all the electrics in the car are referenced to the body as opposed to the engine block. I can understand a cranking battery only referenced to the block as the starter draws quite a load, but the engine is on rubber mounts etc... But if that's what the destructions say to do, who am I to argue. ...

Hi Rob, prob on the drivers side next to the back seat. Just as I did in the 120. Will throw up some pix when I sort it.

Sorted this out this morning. Auto one has pre-made battery leads in 60cm lengths for $17.95. Fixed up some more untidy ARB wiring and a dodgy blinker install as well... Mag-lite and fire extinguisher to fit up this arvo....

Second earth lead and fitted up read to install


Second earth fitted to the body


Wiring tidy up completed


All sorted with both engine and body panel earths
