battery relocation kit install

[mustang35thann]

I am about to install a Steeda battery relocation kit in a 99 mustang GT vert. I am planning on installing a Moroso switch with the push/pull kit so I can keep the switch hidden. I want to keep the show quality as much as possible. I was wondering two things:

1) How did everyone tie in the positive leads in the engine compartment?
2) Where did everyone install their switches?

Thanks for all your help
Mike

I actually finished my install tonight. I used a 120 Amp circuit breaker to make the connection under the hood. I picked up a breaker and four - 4 ga. connectors for the 2 original negatives and the 2 original positives you will need to connect for $25.00 from the local stereo shop.

I usually only drive my car once a month for a couple of miles so the breaker allows me to turn the power off and save my battery while my car sits.

What did you end up doing with the negative cable that was originally connected to the battery???

I connected it to the orginal bolt that holds the battery tray in place. I took a drimel and grinded the paint of to make a solid connection.

Two things that I had problems with: I used and existing hole in the fire wall which had a negative wire and grommet already in place. I pushed the grommet out of the firewall but couldn't get the new grommet back in because of the wire size and the existing ground wire. I filled the hole with alot of silicone caulk to keep the wire from rubbing on the metal. I also used and existing bolt on the back of the truck to connect the new ground from the battery. I had to go back and grind more paint off of the bolt to make a good connection. I didn't have a good connection when I orgininally finished. I can send you pics tonight if you would like. This site also helped answer a few questions I had.
