Battery cables from summit http://store.summitracing.com/partde...0&autoview=sku

The kit comes with the battery ends connected but the other ends you have to press on and crimp yourself b/c the cables are very long. I cut the neg wire and bolted it to the frame crossmember right under the battery box. I had ot make a new hole in the battery box for the negative wire b/c bubba glassed over the original. The grommet came with the battery cable kit.
I then ran the positive wire along the tunnel, turned some of the grommets upside down to put the cable above the studs.
I will cut the positive cable once everything is installed so I can eliminate any slag.
The kit had everything I needed.





Let me know if you need more pics.

What insulation?
