The only empty spot that I found on the firewall was behind the oil cooler. Based on Jeff's advice I am using 2 12V batteries and stack them on top of each other. I made an aluminum box that holds both batteries. The box has cut outs on all sides for weight reduction and that air can get to the batteries. Question: the exiting air of the oil cooler will hit the batteries through the big cut out in my battery box. Is this a problem? I could make a thin cover out of carbon and shield the battery.=20 Is it necessary to run a cooling hose from the baffling to the battery and cool it? Thanks for your help Ralf
