Where to penetrate the bin

Hey Gents.
I am about to install a NL battery box in my Legend 50.
Problem is, I have no idea where to take the wire into the bin of the bukkie.
Any top tips that don’t drill the body or compromise the canopy seals ?
Thanks in advance πŸ‘

The access panel to the rear lights?

Yes I was thinking along those lines. Possibly have to make hole there.

Just bear in mind that wherever you might need to make a hole for wiring, That you fit a rubber grommet so that there won't be chaffing of the insulation over time. The battery cables are quite thick so I would make two separate holes, one for each cable ... you will also get a good seal that way, whereas two cables through the same hole won't seal at all.

Lekka, thanks for the advice. Thinking of using one of those electrical penetrators, the kind with a small β€œo” ring. Yes I also thought 1 per wire. Thanks for the replyπŸ₯‡
