Dive again, screw the tray and box together. And also my diy battery holder too (i use back from engine bay).
Battery holder is piece metal, i use 3 layer heat shrink tubes.

Battery in, tighten everything. Red tape is acrylic tape from tesco too. 2 rolls. To ensure minimal gas leakage.
Air tube to vent out excess gas.

As you see the grounding, 4 welding spot. Do not drill hole there, is a frame. Cannot tighten bolts/nuts inside the frame....

Thanks for all the feedback. Dear sifu/otai/king.
Will get bigger venting tubes, maybe 10-12mm after CNY.

not only you, I am wondering why I need a spare tyre..
since my pcd is totally different.
spare is 4 holes while current is 5 holes.

any idea which spare tyre can clear a 4 pot brake kit?
5 holes only.

Time to throw away the spare, then carry repair kit and pump but if tyre burst cannot help.....

What is the fuse amp?

 

[sweelt]

Cable rating 300A.
Fuse I use 250A. Just to avoid cable shorting and burn car down.

Many have not seen a cable shorted/grounded on a 12v battery. It glows red then melt, same time can cause fire......lol
