Bob, Can you put up some photos of the battery installation?
Pieces to trim, etc.
Where did you buy the batteries, any wiring tips?
Guages, lengths, etc.
Have seen Karl's web site, but more info always welcome.

Thanks  Thomas

I'm installing the UB12220 Universal 12V 22ah batteries (4) in the aux
box under the driver seat. I prep for this I removed the steel flange
from inside the box that holds the bolt that secures the battery. I
used a carbon cutting disc on my Dremel to cut most way through the
flange, then used pliers to leverage it off the rest of the way.
Very surprised at how the Dremel cut through this thick steel (1/8"?)
as long as I went slowly, not asking the Dremel to be an industrial
cutting tool. I'm going to also use this to cut out notches on the
aluminum angle metal to connect the battery terminals (as seen on Karl
Mullendore's Westyventures.com site).
