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 !

The Methanol idea was a joke .......just seeing who's paying attention !

Snoopra bought the Euro parts to move it into the wheel well but I don't think he has installed it yet.

Correct! Not installed as yet. Working everyday almost all day, no break in sight.

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.
