Default Re-locating battery to the back?

I want to re-locate my battery to the back. I spun out in the rain and almost hit a trailor so I am going to do everything I can to get some tracting in the back. Will this be hard to do and does anyone sell some kind of kit I could buy? If not I could just make something up myself.

there are plenty of kits out there...cheap plastic ones, and nice aluminum ones. but dont expect for it to make a difference in the rain

I know, I was just looking for more traction in general, which is basically when it's dry out.

Who sells good kits?

the pastic one is all you need unless your drag racing at the track..up grade your pos wire to a "o" wire instead of the "2" they give you, exspect to have to later upgrade to a more powerful battery

Limited slip can be funAND scary in the rain, I don't think that there's anyhope for any Mustang in the rain with a V8, just hold on and use good judgement.
