Take your bat tray and bolt it to the donut hole same bolt thread and pitch. If your really cool you could somehow either self tap the other to but I use 3m Velcro on the other side and tightened the main bolt well.
Attach your grounds I'll upload a finished pic, once I go get a 100 amp fuse. I had to use a fused terminal in between cause my 0 ga was to short

I did the relocation first cause it would not make sense to do the SOS re wire kit until it was relocated.

Just a suggestion. If you still can, you may want to put HD insulator shrink wrap over those butt-splice connectors. Helps keep the contact tight & moisture out.

So because my 4 or 0 gauge can't really tell was to short I had to put a 100amp fuse inbetween.

Now the starting seems weaker.
Volts are good it's charging and all, I literally just did this so my question is could the extra fuse have some extra resistance? Or should it all just be straight 0 ga?

What I bought from auto parts store I thought was 0 ga but when I went to audio shop there 0ga is way thicker then what I got.

Suggestions? Tips? It's still starting but it's taking an extra crank and lights are dimming to the crank revolution now.
