Default Final Battery Ground Cable (( 09-02-23 ))

Time to build the final ground wire and I have way to many wiring connectors.



While the mock up battery was in the car I estimated the cut length of the cable.



Looks good



This was the point when I should have swapped to the Black Anodized tray.



Confirming



Crimping with my helper.



Heat Shrunk cable end.



Confirming the gap.



I enlarged the holes to allow some wiggle room.



Time to make some battery bolts. You can see that I used a shouldered nut and grimmped that in the vice and then I installed
the bolt and tightened it. At this point I can cut the bolt and not damage the visible nut.





I also shortened the acorn nut to it didn't poke into the bottom of the battery case.



Since the negative cable is close to these two nuts I swapped them out.



Much better looking and of course they won't damage the ground wire.



If you look at the ground wire you can see I wrapped it in DEI Abrasion wrap.





Tray is in.



Support Rod is in.
