I'm in the final stages of moving the battery to the boot to make room for my induction kit, but I am struggling to find a heavy enough distribution block and inline fuse holder for it.
I have tried loads of ice type places but nothing big enough:undecided
anybody got any ides where i might find some soon, i would like to have it done for knockhill next weekend/thankyou
nice smiley btw

big block of brass or whatever 1 big wire in(4 awg) 2 or three big wires out. to connect one cable from boot to two or three cables that run off battery terminal.
with the ampage concerned I would prefer to do it right.
oh and i have already bought and fitted the fire extinguisher:evil2:

Hi
I use them all the time to connect power from the battery to muilt audio amps (i used to fit in car audio in my spare time). I use these people to get my parts from:

I know u said you tried audio places but it wasnt "big enough", well how big do u want it? i dnt think size will matter as long as it can take the size of wire you are using and distributing it to more then two exits.
personally i dont think size will make a difference, i understand that u dnt want a cheap looking small one, but how big u thinking mate? i dont think iv seen a audio one bigger then sumthing like 8cm by 8cm..

their shop is oxford car audio .. in oxford funnily enough. i got my distro block from there 0g to 4 x 8g and 2 x 4g on it.

Just out of interest, what gauge are the cables on the standard battery terminals?
