firewall feed through junction block
 
Relocating the Battery on my Opel GT. Need to run the cable through the firewall, and figured I would use a junction block at the firewall so that I would have a lug to connect either jumper cables, or a battery tender.

This is about all I can find; https://www.ebay.com/itm/Renegade-Ba...53.m1438.l2649

Did several searches looking for something a little more heavy duty. This one has 3/8 studs.
Big enough, but just doesn't look like I would be able to torque the nuts down very tight.

I know some of you guys have had to have dealt with this in the past. What are you using?

Lynn...Jerry Bickel Race Cars has some very nice, high quality examples.

Not sure that will fit. I have very limited space. Hard to tell from the picture.

Thanks for the help. Found one that should work.

Relocating the battery to the back on my 69 Opel GT.
Got it mounted today. Should help weight distribution.
Originally the battery was mounted up in the nose, well ahead of the engine.
Now it is just behind the rear axle.

Not sure what weight distribution is on the 1.1 liter version. The 1.9 was not great at 54/46. I believe the 1.1 was better, but can't find any figures on exactly how much. The whole car only weights 1880 pounds ready to run.
