Battery Relo

I had this relo done by a shop here in Phoenix, AZ... didn't do it myself, but I'll try to capture some of the details to help those that DIY
Materials:
odyssey pc680 battery
15 ft 0/1 gauge wire
fittings to connect to terminal leading to starter, e.g., Taylor Cable 21414 - Taylor Battery Cable Terminal Kits
fittings to connect to battery, e.g., Taylor Cable 21405 - Taylor Battery Cable Terminal Kits
Finally, a fitting to connect to a point on the frame for negative, e.g., (you can prob do better than this one but here you go) Taylor Cable 20215 - Taylor Diamondback Shielded Battery Cables
battery hold down bracked such as this one from DDM Universal Mounting Box for Odyssey PC680 Battery
Steps (roughly):
Remove old battery
Remove old negative cable
Connect 12ft line to starter teminal
Re-use red plastic cover
Run 12ft line through point as shown in pic below
Run line along passenger side under carpet
Run line into rear compartment... you will have to decide where to mount... mine pictured below
Install battery with hold down
Connect battery leads
Grind a spot on the chassis, to reveal bare metal
Drill a hole or use existing hole and enlarge, suitable for fastening negative terminal... connect terminal
I realize I'm not going into much detail but just wanted to get the thread started... others can fill in the blanks... good luck

It should be straightforward... my job was easier b/c I stripped the rear interior long ago... I do recommend this location for the battery, there is a safety issue here... want the battery to be very secure in event of any impact, and this location will provide retention in the event of frontal g's
