Installed gold battery terminals and tucked power wires for clean install

So I am trying to clean up my engine bay and what better way than tucking away the power wires to my amplifiers for a clean install and at the same time getting better connections with gold plated terminals which will never corrode.



Here is how it looked before with the power wires hanging off the bolt and probably not the best but the only real good place to connect them.



This is how they are connected now i cut the ends off the terminals and stripped the wires and are connected directly into the battery terminal. The wires are now going to be run down the back of the battery so are not visible in the engine bay for a cleaner install.



I had the grind down the plastic/metal of the fuse panel to accommodate the wider battery terminal.



And heres the end result.

I was going to do the negative terminal as well but i couldnt take the terminal off without taking off the strut bar and i left some of my tools at the shop. Hopefully tomorrow i can get that one on and install my ground wire kit.
