    Picture needed of windshield washer tank, pump and positive battery wires on a 69

    I'm trying to figure out the cleanest way to deal with the positive cables at the battery next to the windshield wash tank and pump. I'd love to see a couple pictures. The ones I found doing a search are similar to my picture with the cables being a little shorter. I hope there is something better than what's in this picture. I'd like to run the cables forward but that would require a 90 degree bend of the cables. Has anyone done that? I guess I can shorten the cables a little. I would rather run the cables all the way under the battery and come up in front of the battery then back with 90 degree bends. Running them the way they are even slightly shorter is just ugly. I've got a clean setup on the passenger side.

    Battery powering DRLs, headlight relays and the additional cables necessary for a remote disconnect switch make for rather messy installation. There's probably little that can be done about it at a reasonable cost.

    I've looked for an hour to find the 700 mile 70S thread. No luck.

    Here are the photos. Was there ever a more extensive set of photos taken and where is the car now?

    I’m not seeing anyone using the 90 degree vent parts. I can’t fit them in anyway. Any leakage issues with these batteries?

    I have a temporary lead acid in one of my cars. I think I was able to use the vent tube at the rear of the battery box, more room there.

    Chris,
    My '69T is up on the stacking lift, above the TurboS, and what with all the snow in Denver tonight it will be at least a few days before I can bring it down. I'd be happy to take photos for you when I can.

    That would be great Rich! Thanks.

    Ed,
    Do you run a line off the vent part to the outside? If so what hole do you run them to?
