Now route the positive cable through the bottom hole

of the box and install grommet (part #22). Repeat

for the negative cable. Install the smaller remaining

grommet (part #21) in the top hole. Install the battery

and slide cables in or out to achieve proper length

but do not fasten to battery. Make sure they are not

resting against the battery and creating a “hot cable.”

Install black bracket that holds down the battery (part

#10). The slotted hole in this bracket will go towards

the front of the car for that hole we will use a flat

washer (part #24) and a Nylock nut (part #15). Use

just a Nylock nut on the rear stud, tighten snuggly but

do not over-tighten.

From outside of the car, route the round end of the

positive (red) cable (part #3) through the 1” hole in

the fiberglass panel that is located towards the front.

Spray a large grommet (part #21) with WD40 and

from inside the car, force it over the cable end and

work it into place on the fiberglass. On the standard

kit, repeat with the negative cable (part #4). The

lightweight kit uses the frame as the ground path.

Now install the smaller rubber grommet (part #21) in

the remaining hole. Work carpet back into location

feeding the cables through the proper holes as marked

on “Pattern 1”. Place two rubber washers (part #23)

on each stud of the metal battery tray. Work them

down to the bottom so they seat against the tray. Now

install the plastic battery box (part #1) by sliding it

down over the studs and making sure it is seated to

the lowest point. Install a regular 3/8”x16 nut on each

stud and run it down to the plastic. Tighten snuggly

but do not over-tighten. If studs appear to be leaning

outward straighten by grabbing the upper edges of the

battery box and adjusting as necessary.

Reinstall the square tube member, but do not tighten

it. Locate the two black “L” nuts (part #20). These

will go in the slots on the frame rails. Hold in

place with needle–nose pliers while installing the

5/16”x18”x2-1/2 (part #16) bolts with flat washer.

Tighten these bolts securely. Now tighten all other

bolts/nuts previously installed. On the right side, use

a blunt object to bend the L nut so it is flush with the

frame, this is where a battery cable will pass.
