My disco use to have a dual battery setup which worked well just for my engel overnight, but I wanted something that would last longer, so I have started moving the ignition system and aftermarket cruise control to where the old battery was, so I will have the room to put a BIGGER deep cycle battery.
Old Setup :

As you can see I have removed the old, smaller battery and relocated the ignition coil/amplifier also had to move the aftermarket cruise control.
Just wondering how I should move the power steering bottle ? just a longer bracket ?
Also should I make up a splash guard so the ignition system doesn't get wet ?
Once I have moved the power steering bottle and tidyed up some of the wiring, I'll go get a bigger deep cycle battery.
Will post pics once I have done that.
