PolyEthylene (or plastic) tube. and you don't need to vent a sealed battery. like say Optima or similiar

You wouldn't think so, but here in N.S.W. the regulation doesn't differentiate between sealed and not sealed......
So if the Police Person wants to be painful they can say "the rule book says a battery box must be vented therefore it must be vented"
It's happened before.

Hey Im trying to do a similar setup to this in an exa I bought recently. when I bought the car it had already had a battery to boot relo done but all of it had be taken out.
I've managed to try and get it together but I'm having some trouble locating all the wires that I need to connect up to the +ive.
I've Identified the started (yay good job) and two wires in the pic below. From what i've seen in this post theres 4-5 more that I need to find but I dont know how/where to look for them.
any help would be appreciated guys.

That will tell you everything you need to know.

The loom has bee altered a bit but i suspect thats the stock plugin fusible link that sits just downstream of the battery.

Any plain white wire is battery hot all the time.

yeah its definatly altered but shouldn't be too hard though, its just taking me ages. I took some more shots which will hopefully help identify the +ive cables

what about white cables with a red stripe?
