Well today was another win for me!!! I needed a new/better battery and luck would have it the Porsche shop next door had one that would work perfectly

Its a 34/78 size so its far more powerful than the little POS I had in there lol
This

Compared to this!

So I threw it in right away

Now I need to get some top mount clamps to run all of my accessory wires off of them and get them off the side posts.
Oh and the best part of it all.......... I traded 3 old bar stools that we were going to be throwing away for it!!!! Win Win Win for me

Yeah that's for sure I hate side post batteries!! I'll be ordering post clamps tomorrow so I can get the battery properly wired. I'll also be ordering a fuse box so I will only have the one accessory wire coming off the battery instead of the 4 with inline fuses that I have now. It's been annoying me that it looks so cluttered and cobbled since the day I did the wiring but it's what I had to work with at the time so now it's time I do it right
