Another kit from Summit is SUM-G1199 and goes for $42.95:

"Our Summit trunk mount battery kit has everything you need to move your battery: a red polyethylene marine battery case, case straps, 20 ft. of positive cable with connectors, 3 ft. of negative cable with connectors, an H-bar battery clamp, two rubber grommets, and cable straps. It's the easy way to transfer battery weight or clean up your engine compartment."

I missed the Summit brand one. Half the price and just as good. Thanks Bucky!!

This what I did...

1 - Gel Battery ($129),
1 - Universal tray and tiedown ($15)
1 - JB Weld glue ($4)
1 - long red battery. (I foget)
1 - short black battery cable. (I forget)

Attach the black cable to the ground post and chassis/frame

Attach the red cable to the positive post and the positive post on the starter.

The rest is self explanitory.

I will be bolting my battery tray down later when I flush out my gas tank.

OK, I will ask. What is the JB Weld for?

[Minh]

To hold the battery tray down untill I drill holes and paint the trunk...

I'll will chip the JB Weld off later becuase the paint will come off with it.
