Hello,

I've got everything else from the battery in boot conversion installed, but can't do the final bit!

I can't find any holes to bolt the dummy terminal to the bulkhead in the engine bay.

Do I just have to hammer around with a screwdriver until they tap out from under the seam sealer?

Thanks in advance.

It's not shown on that pic.
I'm sure the cutout is located on the inner wing where the battery sat.
It should be an oval shape near the firewall

Cheers, what's the best way to remove the drivers side plastic cover. Do I have to remove the wiper arm as well? How do I do that?

Thanks
