We purchased a fiberglass battery box from Tom Colby’s Speedwell Engineering. The box is nicely made and comes with a high quality rubber strap to secure the top to the box. The strap ends connect to the original Bugeye brackets. We had the box painted in Cotswold Blue to match the car.

Fancy Box with Positive Cable

We then made our positive cable that connects to the starter switch and the negative cable that is secured to the firewall. The positive cable is just a modified NAPA red cable and the negative cable is a car stereo cable that is extremely flexible.
