Could you please post pics of your 928 mounting hardware so I don't have to re-invent the wheel? I see above there's a kit for the 680, but that's a little too small for my use.

thanks,

This upgrade is on my list... But my car will be sitting all winter... Will a trickle charger be good enough, or will I still have to drive it every once in a while?

A battery tender is fine. I have one on mine and it works great. I only drive my car once a week.
