Anyone got any hints/tips on what to do and what not to do?

Sealed or gell battery? Or just a standard one?

Thinking about putting an ignition cut off switch in thier too. Any suggestions?

Make sure you use a decent grade power cable as I had problems with cheap tat when I did mine. Having some sort of kill switch is also a good idea. My fuel pump/line has a kill switch in the boot ideal security.

Go to a scrappers and raid an old bmw for the cables, they've got the battery in the boot as standard. My brother used some in his mk2 golf.
