Battery Relocation Kits

[Centerline]

I was able to find a schematic of the basic installation from the Mad Electrical web site. This is almost exactly how I wired my deuce (in my avitar) and it works very well. I'm not a big fan of fusible links so I used fuses instead but that's the only real change I made.

Centerline, Mark is a pretty bright guy, The fuseable links are a pain but really are very reliable. I imagine slow blow fuses make it nicer, Ive not tired replacing fuseable links with fuses but would like to know why you like them better?

I just don't like the idea of having to cut out and replace a length of wire when a fusable link blows. Also they usually wind up in the least accessable location and it takes an hour just to get to the damn thing, especially in newer cars where they like to hide them behind the headliner and other rediclous places. When wiring a car from scratch its just easier for me to place a simple fuse in an accessable location to protect that circut rather than a fusable link. Then if the circuit blows I don't have to crawl under the dash or remove carpeting to replace a fusable link, all I have to do is pop out a fuse and slip in a new one. Guess I'm just old fashoned.

If you look under the dash in my 32 you'll also see that I like to protect a lot of my sensitive electricals. The coil and Mopar orange box are both located there and if you look in the picture you'll see a 50 amp fuse (white arrow) that is an anti theft device. If I have to park it out in the open at a motel when I'm at a show I simply remove that fuse. Even if a potential thief finds my battery disconnect in the trunk, he still won't be able to start the car and make off with it. Also the Mad Electrical distribution block is mounted just above the fuse (yellow arrow).
