that would need a very very veeery unfortunate, unlucky, and improbable sequence of events to puncture both the battery and the tank and have the liquids mix!!

Moving the battery to improve handling is very common.....almost all street rods place them in the back and on MR2's they're moved to the front. Excellant idea for a Yaris....battery and can of flat fix in back, then you're able to modify and install the exhaust in the center of the rear for looks!

Usually a well mounted battery box to contain any spills (or a gell battery) and some long lengths of welding cable!!!!

LOL if anyone does it be sure to post a DIY!!!!!! i might just follow LOL

And since the Yaris is small I take it that it'll be somewhat easy to relocate it?

Small doesn't necessarily mean easy....routing the cables so there's no rubbing that could cause a short is a primary concern. The spare tire well is fairly big so that should be easy mounting the battery.

oic. anywho, how's the hood cylinder doing? any more bracket revisions?

churp · 06-24-2007, 11:07 PM

DIY thread cleaned up without remaking brackets (too busy). I placed it in the DIY category rather than the 'cosmetic'..........................
