Thanks, Jay. I had not come across anywhere about running the cable into
the frame.
Good to know.

I'm also planning on putting the optima on its side. I decided to go with

of the salt that used up here in the winter and because the NHRA rule
requiring a box
was a bit vague and I decided to play it safe. Thanks again.
