After I was finished installing my pulley, I looked at my remote battery terminal that had been flopping around in the breeze ever since I had done my HAI and decided that it was time to do something about it. I had been thinking about making a bracket to mount it to the ___ , but since I had already cut up the bottom half of my stock airbox, I figured why not use as much ready-made technology as possible a hack up the top half too!

So if you’re not fond of doing things that keep you from returning to stock, turn away now, because this involves demolition!

The first step was figuring out what was possible—where the terminal box could be mounted, how the cables could be twisted/rerouted, and what would work well and look good without cutting into the drinking portion of the day (which of course starts earlier during the holidays).

• [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Turn the terminal box 90o anticlockwise (this requires disconnecting and minor twisting/manipulation of the two cables—I think they’re called the gazinta and gazouta, but not having my manual nearby I’m not sure). Cut the two wire ties that tie the black (gazouta) cable to its neighbor.[/size][/font]
