If you really need more space, you can take a little material off the 3200 case to allow the wire to fit under the bulkhead better, but it really isn't neccesary.

I even added a little tab onto the wire so that I can charge the pack without taking it out the car.

I'll throw a pic of the car up. If you want a better pic, I can take one.
can oy ugive me a pic from the other side and from the to zoomed in?

Hey, that was from my TA05 days. A car that served me quite well for 2 seasons.

And besides, I still race Tamiya mini, so I do still have a reason to have a Tamiya towel.

Does Schumacher even make a pit towel?

Here you go Poundit:

These are close ups of the plug under the bulkhead. As you can see, if you keep the solder joint low, or grind it down after you solder it, then it doesn't come close to the bulkhead, thus no shorting concerns.

The only issue is if you use thick 12 guage wire(as I did). It fits snug under the bulk head. But its really not an issue. you can take a little insulation off the wire with an xacto blade, or take a little material off the battery case to let the wire sit lower, or just use 14 guage wire. Any of those work, and let the pack fit easily.

Another thing I have pictured, is the little tab(aka a cut off end of a cheap battery bar ) I use for charging while the pack is still in the car. All I do is unplug the negative wire, then clip the charger alligator clips to the tab and the negative port in the battery. Easy, and no battery removal except for when the car needs heavy repairs and the battery needs to be charged at the same time.

Hope these help...
