Just trying to clean up a few items on my car back to original. I must admit I haven't really taken much notice of the battery cable routing in the past.
I have only recently noticed that my battery cable doesn't run up over the subframe like my clubby did. It is P clipped underneath at a sharp angle.
It may have been replaced in the past and it was too hard for the previous owner to re-route over the subframe in situ.
What is the correct way they routed the battery cable on a 68/69 Cooper S?
If it is supposed to go between the body and frame, and can this be done in situ or will I need to pull the subframe?
This is what it looks like.
This is what it may need to look like.
The second picture is correct , same as my Oct 1967 Mk1 .All the unmolested ones I have seen are like that , to allow the rear subframe to be removed easily
