Cable run shouldn't be a problem, MGBs, Jags and Beemers often had batteries under the rear seats or in the boot floor 25mmsq or bigger cable will do the job. Running a separate cable from each battery is a non starter as they will be 2 No 6 volt batteries so need to be in series, i.e. one battery's negative connected to earth and its positive connected to the negative of the other battery then the positive from that one connected to the starter solenoid. My biggest concern is the proximity of the two batteries to the fuel tank in the case of a rear end shunt. How would it be considered for motor sport scrutineering for example?
