It will do the job but im unsure whether it's weather proof  :undecided:


I don't think a semi will give the same results

ah yeah, forgot about the goddam weather!

Where did you get yours from? I've tried searching ebay google and a few online shops but I cant find anything other than cheap stuff or ones designed for audio installs. Not really sure what to search for  :undecided:

Right, it IS from a BMW, i had a poke around a K-reg E36 320i at work today and the terminal block is located on the OSF inner wing.

Get checking your local scrappys  :smiley:

Ayup Dan,seen this on edition earlier and thought of you.

"Ive got everything you need in kit form for you to relocate your battery in your boot.


I had this fitted to my VR6 golf for about 3 months. Abit dirty but in good condition.


You get ruffly 5m of proper high duty power cable RED (think its 650amp 11.5mm). Eyelet to connect to starter motor at one end. and connector to go to battery + at the other

Earthing cable including eyelet already attached to bolt to chassis and battery connector on the other end


£30"

Might be of some use.http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=382875

Still on the lookout for a decent distribution/terminal block :)
