Car Details:1986 Camaro, bought into Spain by me in 1993.
305 replaced by a 355, 750 Demon carb, RPM AirGap intake, Brodix heads, Hedman Hedders, 3" Flowmaster exhaust.
Wheels are Summit aluminium 5 spokes, tyres are 245 rear 225 front BF Goodrich.
B/M transmission, battery relocated to the rear, GoodMark 4" cowl steel hood.
Location:Spain East Coast
I did this quite a long time ago.
The first location at the rear was in the deep well using a plastic battery box from Moroso.
Did´nt like it, took up too much valuable space.
So I measured up the space taken up by the spare tyre.
Tight fit but possible.
This time I bought a Summit aluminium battery box and this is how it ended up.

Using MadElectrical´s kits I relocated a remote solenoid to the rear as well making the thick battery wire to the starter dead after cranking.

START'M UP kit (part # ST-1) Remote starter solenoid conversion for GM
Trunk Mount battery helper kit (part # TM-1 & # TM-2) It provides the correct wiring, terminal block, and Fusible Link for installing the START'M UP kit solenoid in the trunk

Car Details:1988 IROC-Z, custom interior from the 90s.
Somebody used to a relocate kit for the spare wheel space.
Can't think who it was now.

Ah - Google suggests http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/produ ... n-Kit.html

Nice job though! More satisfying figuring it out yourself.

That looks like a nice neat installation :thumbup: . How long did it take? maybe you could give a bit of info for the others on here as to what's involved as it may help them to do the same. :thumbup:


cheers...Nige
