I will try to take a pic for you. Just need to empty the back of the van first [TIRED FACE]
I still have starter battery under the drivers seat.
Regarding centre of gravity the van weighs nearly 2 tone. I cant see that about another 30kg ish will make any difference.

That would be amazing as I see putting batteries there a huge space saver.

Can you join the split charge relay to the starter to battery cable as its so close?
