10303: Installation Instructions for Remote Battery Cable Kit
Installation Instructions for 10303
Remote Battery Cable Kit
Read all of the instructions before beginning your installation.
Locate a desirable position for the battery. Ideally the area behind the right rear tire is the best
location for weight transfer. Make sure that the area beneath the selected location is clear of all brake
lines, electrical wiring, frame, fuel cell (gas tank), fuel lines and spare tire before drilling. To be legal
for competition and safe in the event of a rollover or rear collision the battery must be located behind
a firewall in the trunk or hatch area.
Select a route for the battery cables avoiding objects that might damage the cables. Route the
positive cable to the engine compartment. If necessary, drill an 11/16” hole for a grommet to pass
through the floor or firewall. Route the negative cable to the frame, roll bar or a tubing structure that
protrudes into the trunk area in the same manner. Measure the desired length remembering to allow
for any bends and for stripping the wire 3/4”. Do not attach any of the connectors
to the cable until the cable has been
routed through a grommet (not
supplied).
Cut the cables to length, strip the end
3/4”, route through a grommet (not
supplied) and secure the cable end by
soldering or crimping.
Attach the ground strap from the engine
to the frame or roll bar if not already so
equipped. This helps to eliminate
charging and starting problems. Always
remove any paint or debris.
Lastly, attach the negative cable to the
frame or roll bar. Always remove any
paint or debris and secure with 3/8” bolt
and a lock or star type washer. This will aid in charging and eliminate loosening from vibration
transmitted through the frame.
Accessories that may assist you in the installation:
The Jeg’s Thru Pane lConnector #555-10317 is the ideal method to run the positive cable to the
solenoid or starter instead of the rubber grommet. Our connector has a stud and nut on both sides
for quick and easy installation.
On race-only type vehicles we recommend the Jeg’s Positive and Negative Charging Terminals #555-
10315 and 555-10316 in addition to the Jeg’s Master Disconnect Switch and Faceplate #555-10305
and 555-10306. Also see the new billet switch handles and faceplates in Jeg’s catalog.
