 I hated this idea on early cars years ago, new cars these days have the positive towards the centre of the car.

 Gary,
In '66 the Mustang included a piece of high density rubber mounted to the inside of the engine compartment next to the battery.  They also put a piece of rubber on the fan shroud next to the battery.
