Completed the battery delete / relocation today. Spent close to 6 bloody hours! Not sure how. Happy with the install, isolator can be reached from the driver's seat and/or passenger door.
Next post after la cage aux folles is fitteded.
Battery and box gone leaving space for the catch can. Common + terminal and fuses / relays relocated.
Tidy up and cable ties to go. Tiny battery is fine and kicks the Duratec over easily. The battery bolts are tent pegs! For some reason they are 6.5mm diameter and the M6 die didnt want to start so I cut them about 20mm too long. Cut an M7x1.0 thread on that and recut M6x1.0 and the die nut cut happily ever after. Worth remembering if you are in the same position. Also could have tapped out some M6 nuts M7 but I prefer this.
I was working in the carpark (again and it was hot and humid). A visitor walked past and said wow Cosworth! What did they do? Cast their name on the manifold...
EDIT: the gold wrap is NOT my idea!
