    Thanks for the response. Always looking for something that fits right, and stows small.

    So with your mount at the battery, is that bent and bolted underneath to the battery mount then? Just trying to figure out what size plate to get and bend to fab a mount, it is the best location (most room under a crowded hood). I the red block near the base a fuse holder?

    It is a piece of flat stock I had laying around with a couple pieces of angle brackets bolted to the fender, and the battery.

    The red block is just a bus bar for all the powerpoints.

    Looks good and functional. Thanks for the info. I have to put a battery disconnect switch on the rig till I can chase down the short. It’s also a back up rig so it needs to be easy for my sweetheart.
