Im thinking about a possible battery in the boot conversion for my cabby in place of the damper (large metal bolster to counter vibration).
Is this wise?..anyone done it?

The damper is there for a good reason - Renault F1 thought it good enough to hide one in the nose of their cars a few years back, until it was discovered and banned, and the vibrations it suppresses are supposed to be harmful to a battery.

Yep, done it to a couple, gives a much nicer looking engine bay

The boot on that particular cabby was weighed down with amps/speakers/air so im not worried about any detrimental effects it may have
