    You already have yours installed? Post a pic. I'm just going to replace the cable if that's the case.

    I've got an optima there right now. Funny story... I'm getting a decent tax return so I've already been in contact with Mike about getting another battery from him. Unfortunately, he can't do the GB pricing again... Understandable. The 31M I ordered is behind the rear seat and I'm trying to get a 31 to replace this crappy optima that's done after 26 months.

    I took the easy route tho and just made an extender. You can see the copper nut underneath that electrical tape. There's a ring terminal under there and that's where the starter cable and fuse panel cable connect. I was in the fuse panel tho when I was doing the big 3/4 and its just a nut and bolt that that short 4 gauge wire goes to.

    I checked with Satin at Pelfreybilt, and the NorthStar terminals sit just a tad further to the front than on the Odyssey/DieHard batteries causing that problem.

    If you get into the fuse box before I do, please post up the stock length - it'd be nice to have a number to work from.

    I'll be into it tomorrow after work. I'll measure the stock wire and then I'll make my own two inches longer.

    It's a PITA to get the fuse panel out of the fuse box so I said fuck it and dabbed a little aluminum plate and made this shit work. Ghetto AF but it does the job fine 25742d2dec7b45c897018be3c771b0b5_b7dbe87bfe6d469422ed253346986cf6562af463.jpg
