Oh man, please share the premade pocket punchout, I used a little miata battery and factory E30 battery cable when I dropped it into the pocket

As requested, Here's two photos of it.


See where the cable is coming from? This is what it looked like lreviously.
That small oval is the pocket and the screwdriver in this photo was used along with a mallet to punch it out. Please excuse the mess currently in the tray lol. This cable was a pain in the ass to run through but this kit came with a rubber grommet that kinda fits as well. I will show where to mount the positive cable to the firewall since my car doesn't have premade bolt holes for it (strange...)

ohhhh THAT!... I thought there was a pocket in the trunk. Please look closely at the trunk area, the standard battery doesnt fit back there. Heres a few 10+ year old pics of how I got the Battery to fit.

This was the before from when I first got the car.



I was able to get my hands on the factory ground point and weld it in (poorly).

Ah that's a good way to do it! The only thing i would have to do is drill a hole and then secure a bolt so I can jam a nut and have that be the ground for the chassis, otherwise everything nearly fits minus the cover for the wires.
