GM side post multiple run prototype

[toolmaker 10+ year member]

Well since I have a GM with side posts, I had a design in my head to get multiple runs to the battery easily and neatly. Did some work in the shop today and came up with this.

On the truck

Still just a basic design. This one only has 3 1/0 inputs, but that's all I need. Plus I'm going to look at a different way of securing it to the battery. This holds securely, but I have another way I might like better. Plus I think I need to do something so it's not so blocky looking in my opinion. Plus the truck needs cleaned //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

What ya'll think.

why dont you just get a dual post battery?

Basically cause I'm to cheap at the moment, and this battery is only a 1 1/2 years old. Plus I had the material laying around.

Dist blocks are cheaper???

it looks good, just seems kind of useless as most people just buy some sort of agm or gel cell with dual terminals and use the extra terminals for their accessories

Nice piece of machining, be careful with that much conductive metal laying around in the engine bay, may want to look into some sort of cover.

I, for one, can appreciate nice machine work

3/8 rod and ring terminals = win

but that design looks pretty cool... mostly cus you fabbed it up yourself.

nice work... I wish I had some kind of distribution block that would fit into a Northstar NSB125 battery. Any ideas?

Looks good. Get a cover though. It wouldn't take much for it to short out on something.
