battery re-location question

Post by Gunslinger »

Is there any reason why my main battery couldnt be re-located into the box to the side, inside the engine compartment?

Thanks

As said stick it in there but make sure you make /fit a tray that is strong enough and that the battery can be secured in.

aren't the diesels on a sort of shelf that overhangs into the engine bay?
