1975 240D Relocate Battery to Trunk
I need to relocate my battery to the trunk of my 1975 240D so I can install the Electric Fuel Boost Heater close to the injection pump.
I'm trying to install the Electric Fuel Boost Heater. I went through a lot of work making mounting brackets and a plate but in a nutshell it doesn't work. It vibrates too much, and I'm afraid the vibration will danmage the thermostat of the EFBH. I made the mistake of relocating my orginal fuel filter and mounting the EFBH to the fuel filter mount. I think I'm better off to relocate my battery so the EFBH will be attached to the car body and not the engine.
My questions are:
1)Where is the best place to drill a hole in the trunk for the battery cables?
