disco_al Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Right, I now have in my possession the X-Eng kit (Cheers guys) and i need to run a cable from the main battery to the aux battery, and as we all know, the aux battery on a D1 is on the N/S inner wing. Is it best to run the new cable around the bulkhead across the back of the engine bay, or should i just feed it across the front panel somewhere? Logic (?) would dictate to run it across the front panel, as this is the shorter route, leading to less resistance from the shorter cable run (if my understanding of this is wrong then someone correct me) As for the earth strap i was planning to run one directly to the chassis on the N/S. Any advice gladly accepted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 When I put dual batteries into my D1 I just ran the cables along the front panel (in front of the radiator). Never had a problem with them. HTH Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco tony Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I managed to feed mine through the rubber seal along the slam panel, eliminated any need to cable tie it and hid it quite well. The seal is tubular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStu Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I did the same as tony, hides it nicely. Ran my earth to the chassis directly beneath the aux battery as you say - no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
