I called up moroso in west palm beach...
as you all know im trying really hard to make my car track legal so that when i hit the track, i wont have any problems with inspection. right now my concern is the battery box. i call up moroso and the tech guy tells me that i must have a sealed NHRA approved box, which the summit box isnt. so now i have to fabricate my own, the minimum wall thickness for a steel box is 0.024" and 0.32" for an aluminum box. I will be using some 22 gauge stainless steel for the custom box. just kinda pisses me off because i just got the summit box in the mail and now i find out its not track legal :( ill post some pics of the new box soon.

RE: I called up moroso in west palm beach...
Moroso makes a sealed battery box which meets the specs, their part number is 74050. there are other places that make and sell them out of steel or aluminum but I can't remember any of them right off the top of my head right now. try Competition Engineering though, they used to make a metal one I'm sure.
and dont' forget you need the master battery cut off switch once you do move the battery to the back too. |

Steeda sells one as well, still a bit pricey tho:eek:
And my lazy ass still didn't run the wire from my alt. back to the switch yet:D Whenever I'm in the tech line I just keep a few electronic items on when theyre testing the switch[sm=smiley16.gif] P.S. Power windows are a MUST! |

Question:
I am in the process of building a custom stainless steel box, 14 gauge 304 stainless fit to the battery dimensions. is it possible for me to relocate the battery to the rear left of the car instead of the rear right? this would help weight transfer since torque over is worse for the rear right wheel. |
RE: I called up moroso in west palm beach...
why dop u want it on the left side and not the right?
