Front Engine Dragsters / battery inside driver area
« on: April 08, 2019, 10:26:54 AM »
im using a go lithium 16v battery, they are small 8.75" x 6.95" x 3.00
since its small and light, there is no use to mount it up front and to keep things tidy id like to make up a tray that clamps to the uprights just behind my transmission, engine is 50" out so i got some space. the battery is a sealed case..... is there any tech issues with mounting the battery in front of the driver area ? im not going to install a fire wall in front of the pedals like some but i could make a cover to conceal the battery but since its a sealed battery do i need to ?
also is using clamps to mount it to the upright legal or should it be mounted to tabs welded to the up right?
