Yes, you DO have to punch holes for the battery cables. They have
to be large enough for the cable ends to fit through.
Most of us have the largest battery possible that will fit in our
MG's and I found that the battery liner is not large enough to
accomodate a group 26 battery. The liner is shaped so that the
group 26 battery will not go all the way to the bottom.
Of course, I found this out AFTER I had made the holes for the
cables !!
