Did you do that to move the ECU?
Do you access the battery for connection from the footwell access from above by pulling that panel above the footwell?
Another question is why do it?

No I dont move the ecu I access the battery by both sides I put a low price battery with 50 ah and 500a (38€) The Varta Life was 3 years the same for the banner origine. Under the foot passenger it is not hot And I ve more space under the bonnet.

Seems like a great idea - better cheaper battery, better location for weight distribution... get a sealed unit to avoid having to reach down to top it up of course. And there is room there...
I wonder if the passenger footwell would be a better space for the oil tank, though? Placed vertically? Would need some new firewall, but you could add cooling input and output holes in the body to help with cooling (and maybe a radiator...)?

"I wonder if the passenger foot well would be a better space for the oil tank, though?" Bonus keeping your passengers feet warm. I looked at ducting warm air from a hole in the front face of the cowl to the foot well but insufficient room for trunking. Maybe with a relocated battery & oil tank there would be space.

unfortunately I do not see any pictures when you post. I wonder if the server at work filters them out (not that I am on the forum whilst working)

Why relocated oil tank, for me it is better to have relocated battery into the front body with A new support easy to change . I installed there a cut circuit . The passengers feet are warm I dont remove the top access.
