    Steve,

    This is probably not the angle you need, but this is how mine has always looked .... This shot taken in '08

    Hope this helps...

    Slip your cables behind the battery hold down strap, keeps them out of the way

    Steve, u should install the rubber insulation blocks on your positive cable ends of the batteries, available from Porsche. Pix shows one installed and one upside down so u can see the profile.

    Name: 5C1B4FC6-3103-490B-A37B-2F6A24EA25F4.jpg Views: 321 Size: 95.3 KBDavid- that was a great idea! Gled49, I will order those insulators—which reminded me of a stupid thing I did when I was only using one large battery. I will start a thread of stupid things, so others may not repeat mistakes!

    I did add a hose clamp for the top wires that uses a fender screw.

    cable routing

    The accessory wires route along the hood cable tube and are attached to it with a WHITE ty-wrap, the battery cables run along the trunk floor and bend up to the battery positive post.

    I can attest to the problem that may be caused if they do not exist or are not put on properly and fall off (as in my case).

    Lucky to not lose the whole car to fire!!
