Anderson leads

[paul2000]

HI have any one put anderson leads on their griff if so which is the best place to put them ,connect to battery via battery box or underneath the front of the car thanks in advance paul

The most common places i have seen them fitted is...
The front chassis cross member with contacts facing upwards so accessed by having the bonnet open.
Low on the bulkhead behind the passenger seat.

They normally come with either a red or grey housing but are not interchangeable. Each housing has a keyway but they are in different positions for each colour.
Perhaps time for a survey on the most common used...I suspect it would be red.

Hi i have the gray one about 12ft ,what i need is the smaller one that fits in the engine bay , oh just one more thing where do i attach the pos,/neg leads to thanks paul

Just a thought but usually the Anderson connection is positioned somewhere that is accessible when the car is locked with perhaps a flat battery.

[paul2000]

HI good point so its got to be fitted at the front on the car where it can be easily got at many thanks to all paul

[Steve_D]

With a low car there are very few places you can fit the connector where it will not get wiped out on a speed bump.
I think most owners know how to get into a TVR when the battery is flat.
If the anderson is going in the engine bay then connection would be positive on the starter motor and negative on the chassis earth point near the steering column.

On my Chim I have it fixed under the dash passenger side , next to my battery isolation switch . My Tuscan has it externally on the chassis rail, disadvantage ... must keep it covered , dry and clean , As stated , flat battery entry isn't much of a problem . In addition to jump leads with Anderson connector , I have Accumate and Snap-on Power Pack Anderson leads.. so all options covered.
PS Battery and relays moved behind seats and using a small racing battery.

Thanks for all your help lads ,i do know how to get in the griff if i get a flat battery so i will put the leads in side car next to my battery cut off switch ,,they can keep each other company thanks again paul

Personally I’d give external access, so car can be simply plugged into a charger whilst keeping it fully locked and alarmed.

[Matthew Poxon]

Mine is located on the chassis under the bonnet. The way the Griffith Bonnet is designed you can easily run the cable out of the front of the car to the charger while keeping it locked.

Why wouldn't you want to use the cigarette lighter facility in the door (assuming your car is securely garaged)?

I plug in my battery conditioner into that and it is so easy.

When my alternator went tits up on my Tuscan , I ran 30 miles home with a battery in the passenger footwell on an Anderson connector
