Battery in footwell?
As part of a wiring re-think I've decided I don't really like the position of my battery - it's currently sat on the scuttle. I
think i'm going to shift it to the passenger footwell and shield it with a footrest. Anyone had issues doing this in terms of leg room for
passengers and the effective isolation of the passenger from the battery terminals??

Mines in the passenger footwell behind a footplate, no issues with passenger legroom.
