Guys I am after some info on what size (amp) cable that I need to remote my battery to the boot and do I need to run both cables back or just the positive. If anybody has a wiring diagram and or some pics I would appreciate it. I have a series 2 VN/P V6.
Regards

You only need to run 1 lead for the positive but you will need at least good earth leads earth motor to body and earth battery to a rail or something substantial.
If you run an auto earth your gearbox as well as i have seen a few times the power likes to earth your shifter cable out.
You will need good cable ask for high flex 75mm SQ its roughly 16mm diameter and get a lecco mob to either solder or crip with hydraulic crimpers your ends on.
Consult a lecco mob if in doubt but you will get a small amount of current drop .
Also run the power for accesories ect up from the starter where the cables are attached.

Whatever floats your boat. i had mine running along the chassis rails so i just "P" clipped it to the inside of the rail under the car as long as theres no chafe points.

P clips are shaped like a P (hence the name) the cable runs in the hole and a screw or rivet holds the clip to the body. They generally have a rubber insulator as well. Any electrical supply company has them in stock
