Steve, u should install the rubber insulation blocks on your positive cable ends of the batteries, available from Porsche. Pix shows one installed and one upside down so u can see the profile.

David- that was a great idea! Gled49, I will order those insulators—which reminded me of a stupid thing I did when I was only using one large battery. I will start a thread of stupid things, so others may not repeat mistakes!
I did add a hose clamp for the top wires that uses a fender screw.

The accessory wires route along the hood cable tube and are attached to it with a WHITE ty-wrap, the battery cables run along the trunk floor and bend up to the battery positive post.

Ed,
That looks great! I will have to work getting my cables too look like yours.
I checked and Wire ties have been around since the 1950s. I don't know any place else they were used on my 1969.
Perhaps helpful. I believe it is done right.

I spied something I had wondered about ..... the clip that holds the windshield washer tubing to the fuse area cover! What or where does one find that clip?!

That is not the tubing for the windshield washer fluid , but the hose for the fuel vent and the brake fluid resevoir vent - overflow for '69 US cars and '69 and later European cars .

I can attest to the problem that may be caused if they do not exist or are not put on properly and fall off (as in my case).
Lucky to not lose the whole car to fire!!
