All the cables fit and requires no cutting etc. Just put a spacer on the side of the battery to keep it from sliding if the hold down comes loose. (You can also put a second nut on the hold down to keep it secure...)

Also put a piece of plastic on the edge of the battery box under the positive terminal (there is a small space between the edge of the terminal and the metal) to prevent any shorts in the event of battery movement.

**I also have a battery anticorrosion pad at the floor of the battery that is about a 1/8" thick.
