Updates - Remote battery box and Firewall bulkhead

I got my battery box mounted. I ended up drilling and taping the frame so I didn't have to use nuts on backside. Probably do the same for the main electrical circuit breaker and starter solenoid.

Also got my new American Autowire bulkhead cut out. Didn't get a picture yet but mounting holes are drilled and I bought bolts with locknuts for the bulkhead fasteners. Didn't like the idea of the 2 large screws sticking out of the firewall....












Measurement with box in the up position:




Measurement with the box in the lowered position:





I used the template on the outside of firewall rather than the inside. The template would not have stuck to my inner firewall with the lizard skin. It worked just fine using a body saw to cut it out. Then I took a die grinder and smoothed out the edges. sprayed a little paint on the bare metal edges.
