hey everyone, like the title says i am relocating my battery to the trunk of my car. My plan was to run the wires along the frame rails, what i was wondering is where on the rails to hang them? (bottom, side) and what to secure the wires with/where to get said items

im a little new at this so any suggestions are more than welcome

I use Adel clamps and attach them to the inside of the frame rail.

You can also get them at most hardware stores.

I went inside the frame rails , and added a couple zipties here and there.

I took mine through the passenger compartment to keep it out of the elements. It runs under the rear seat and under the threshold strip on the passenger side. A feedthrough is a neat and safe method of feeding it through the firewall. There are a few clamps holding it in place but it lays along the outside edge of the floor pretty nice.
