Moving battery to boot. - Matt - 24-06-2016
Been thinking about doing this for a while. What's the best way to go about it?
Standard battery box bolted to the floor suffice??

Many different ways people have done it. I got a leisure battery box off ebay. Does the job ok.
If you're after some wire i can sort you out with some 25mm2 stuff that i bought but wasn't really man enough to crack the xud over. Will do it for you cheap. Let me know if your interested.

Will that be good for the Rallye?
How do you go about connecting the positives together? Or is it a case of rewiring things?

Find a BMW in a scrappers and use that for it's positive and ground cables as BMW's usually always stuff the battery into the boot.

Cut the end off and put a ring terminal on the end, it's what you will have to do to the leads anyway so they can be connected. Need to be big terminals though, we have some big crimpers at work to do them.
