An alternative is to make the holes just large enough for the cables,
and THEN attach the clamps to the wires AFTER running them through
the battery box. You could also grommet the holes that you drill in
the liner. This is mostly for looks and weatherproofing, since
abrasion wouldn't be a big problem with a plastic battery box.
