    Has anyone relocated the battery into the rear tire well ?

    I seem to recall that someone did but couldn't find it via search

    I'm debating using a Deka or Odessey 925 sized to reduce weight ( and move it a bit lower). I know I'll need new cables and to fab a mount but wondered if there were any other challenges or suggestions.

    I might also slide the Methanol resevoir in there.....

    TIA !

    If it came down to it, couldn't the carpet and passenger side quarter trim from an A6 4.2 be used?

    I'm pretty sure it would, so that's another option.
