I am planning to move my baterry to the trunk.

I got that box:
View attachment 491979

I also have a mini-starter.
What do I need to exactly to remove the starter solenoid, after searching thru that forum I've seen that you can do it. But cannot figure out the wiring

your help is much appreciated.

You don't need to move the solenoid to the trunk. Cars that came from the factory with the battery in the trunk (ie BOSS 429) keep the solenoid in the engine compartment. Just attach the negative to the trunk floor and run the positive cable to the solenoid in the engine compartment. Ed

I've read on several posts here, that you can remove the starter solenoid if you have a mini-starter. is that true?

If your "mini-starter" has an integrated solenoid then you do not need the fender mounted one any longer.
