Consider the Pantera's front brake line connecting the right front to the 
left front. It runs directly behind the acid-spewing battery, protected only by a 
piece of unshrunken shrink-tubing. Dropping the battery into the trunk floor, 
then replacing and re-routing the OEM line was one of my first mods 'cause 
the scabby appearance of that line scared me! FWIW- J Deryke
