I am doing this mod at the mo. I am routing the cable beneath the front wing as in Kenneths picture. I called a local welding shop that I do a bit of business with and I am going to collect 7m of 35mm² welding wire tomorrow. £35.00 all in. If anyone in UK wants the number it's 01903 717606 ask for Ian.

Also found the table below which helped me decide.

Cable spec is 0361 TQ 35mm²

Cross Sectional Area
Loading Current in Amps for the Following Duty Cycles

mm² 100% 85% 60% 30%

25 180 195 230 330
35 225 245 290 410
50 285 310 370 520
70 355 385 460 650

not sure wot all that means but i have just aquired quite a long length of cable that runs the electrics on the trains

just gotta sort out the other bits now and i'll be away.


if i removed the spare wheel wud the battery fit comfortably in there or isnt that recommended???

Chris, it ain't the length that counts - its the girth ! ( and obviously the skill with which you use it ! )

[chris g]

I did not think that size mattered at all....

Okay, here's finally my way to move the battery to the boot.

Made with 2x 25 mm^2 cables, both wires has one 60A's fuse.
