Bill, thanks. The cable is mounted in the car but, what I was looking at is the rear, like in your first picture. The way I read the rules was that had to be mounted within a certain distance of the chute. Right now mine is clamped to the chassis pretty far in front of the chute. I think I'll give your style a try.

About the battery. My car is old so the battery is mounted behind the rear end. I have a battery box already but the battery just sits in it and was never fastened to the box. According to the rules I have to secure the battery to the frame, or frame assembly, with 3/8" bolts. Most batteries leave no room on either side to put a bolted tie down over the battery.

I'd love to see what others are doing. I'll send you an email. Thanks
