33 Coupe Fuel System and Battery  9        12/02/03

This should keep things from falling apart or bending now. By adding the two 1/8" X 1" pieces, this will be one strong box now.
 

 

 

Here you can see the Interstate battery installed and is just about ready to roll. I need to make a hold-down strap to go from the battery down to the angled pieces still and that should do it. Let's cut and fit some battery cable now shall we!
 

 

 

The battery cable I'm using is made by Painless like my wiring harness. It seems like, if it has wire in it, Painless sells it. This is #1 fine stranded cable 20 feet long for the positive side and 3 feet long for the ground. The battery terminals are already installed for you but you have to put on the other ends yourself after cutting it to length.
 

 

 

After lying on my back for hours installing wire clamps to hold the cable against the frame, making sure it wasn't going to be in the way of the fuel line or anything else, I marked the place to cut it. Now I don't want to cut this to short because I'm not going to be able to splice this together like smaller wire. That meant measuring twice and cutting once. Using a hack-saw worked great for this.
