Thread: trunk mounted battery short protection

Boy, this is an old thread! The weather is much better now and I am studying "Wire Your Hot Rod" by Dennis Overholzer. I have a wiring kit so this is going to be a mess and fun too, but I will probably be asking questions as I go; I have done a lot of wiring on low amp stuff in electronics, but we are talking about big sparks here!

Hi Denny,

I used some of those to hang my welding cable ground wire but I need to get more. I am going bonkers with the nice weather and this book deal requiring 12 hours a day so at some point I am just going to put in some days on the car. I really have more on my plate than I can handle but I am waiting for my custom column drop and then the fun begins with the instruments and wiring so I am trying to get myself psyched up to figure out a way that I can type for a few hours a day and still get into the garage for a few hours, but I am basically an obsessive guy who prefers to stay with one thing until it is finished and I just got in over my head with this book deal. I pretty well finished up the chapter on the "twisted light" effect and sent some results to a colleage in Germany who uses large computers for that sort of calculation and she was amazed I could do similar stuff on my home PC and get good results so that chapter should be pretty good. Still, I like to be careful with the car and measure three times before cutting and now I have to worry about big sparks, so your suggestion of the rubberized hangers is a good reminder. I still have to hang the fuel line on the right frame rail too and I can use the smaller diameter rubber hangers for that, but I need a 40 hour day! Retirement means you can work at home but the hours are still long!
