New Moroso Battery Cover

[doogie]

I stumbled on this a couple weeks ago when trying to find a carbon fiber cover. Did the terminal post position change on the later models as my '07 faces the firewall... so this cover seems to be backwards as the hold-down tab is on the same side as the post cut-outs??

Yes they don't face firewall any more. I'd like to see this on a battery

According to Jegs, they are releasing the correct version with rear facing cut-outs this week. So I decided to order one. I will post up some pics when it shows up.

Mine finally shipped yesterday and is out for delivery. I will not have my car back from the shop until Friday (auto swap and tune), but I plan to install the cover over the weekend and will post some pics.

I'm pretty sure the 08 GT faces the firewall and the 2012 6'er face the front.

Keep us posted! I have a few moroso things under my hood thanks to Char259. I really would like to see how it looks and might have to get one.

I just finished installing and it was a bit of a PITA. For starters, no way to install it without grinding off the rear tabs. Then the fun starts as the positive cable would not go onto the battery with the cable routed over the top of the cover, so it has to be wedged between the cover and firewall. I finally got mine installed and it does look cool, but I doubt Moroso has installed one on this style layout as it is not the best design. I also had to remove the small cowl push pin right above the positive terminal so the cable could get routed behind the cover (or shall I say "forced

Cable issue before pushing them behind the cover.

Think Moroso dropped the ball on this one.

Agreed as I am pretty much stuck with this one since I cut off the rear tab. I tried contacting them last week and ended up playing phone tag for a couple days, but never was able to talk live. I would really like to find out if they actually installed one a car with the rear facing terminals as the later models would not have this issue.
