Im in the process og moving my battery, I have 5.5M of 135amp cable which will easily be enough.

 

You will also need to earth the baterry in the boot,

I think the starter is 8mm and alternator is 6mm. Ill have to check the invoice when i go to work, as i redid all the power / earth cables not too long ago.

You may also consider placing a terminal block at the front where the battery were, this will give you more convenience in the future.

 

And a sealed box to store the battery can keep the hazard vapour out of the cabin.

i used 8metres of 300amp cable with a FIA kill switch i dash, 8metres is a touch to long.

 

i also put a juctuion box in the engine bay too
