Battery relocation to spare tire well.

Materials I used:
1 BMR thirdgen ((82-92) F-body (Camaro/Firebird) battery relocation bracket
1 Optima red top battery
15 feet of 1/0 gauge red high strand count(connect remote starter solenoid to original solenoid)
2 feet of 1/0 gauge silver high strand count(1 foot from battery to ground, 1 foot from engine to body)
10 feet of 10 guage (to connect ignition start wire to remote solenoid)
5 1/0 copper lugs
1 Summit remote starter solenoid
2 Del City power distribution junctions (one under hood, one under dash)
2 battery terminals
20 feet of 8 guage (rewire alternator and under dash power supplies as per Mad electrical)
1 14 gauge fusible link
2 12 gauge fusible links
lots of 8 gauge ring terminals for power distribution blocks
various diameter triple wall heat shrink tubing (with adhesive)
Solder and 1/0 gauge solder slugs

Tools:
Wire cutters
Wire stippers
Crimpers
100/140 watt soldering gun
heat gun (to shrink tubing)
propane torch (to melt 1/0 solder slugs)
allen key
razors

This set up IS NOT track legal (yet).
I could dump the jack and the spare because I have run flats.
I would not suggest you do that IF you need the spare.
The schematics are from MAD electrical, www.madelectrical.com
