Yes its legal. Cable size you'll need the same size or larger to lessen the volt drop over the longer run. High quality jump lead cable might be a way to go.
what did you do to your micra today ?

Thanks for reply, right on my power cable I have 3 wires into one post do I have 3 lots of power going into the sills or join 3 wires into 1 cable ?

Personally I'd only run one cable from the battery and join it up to the three wires via a busbar type idea.
So make 3 wires into one and have a big gauge wire going into the sills right ?

Good to see you working on your welding, but a bit more cleaning / prep work will make the welding easier.

@Andy5077 more to come but it was like p***ing in a fish tank, if u got a mig and all the inner sills and outer, with 1.2mm Mild plates it's very simple took me 2 hours and not rust free, thanks to one and only man who has told me on how to do it and what not @frank
Has short cuts and has gave me many advice and don't take 3 steps back take 1 step forward.
took carpets off
Then this
this was only so carpet don't burn with the sills getting hot. Also am not using it anymore and no more back seat
marking where I wanted the inner lines so the outer fits on the line, then just tack welded it
here was the tack
did this by end to end inner only on few tacks then ended up with a stronger welds and next I came across a patch I had rusted so u cut out some sheets and welded it
mig was the best welded I had ever used not even one burn through out and it was coming out very good, gasless, 0.8 mm. Now u can see where I made the patch
it was all looking new now and the rust middle section got cut off which u don't need,
filled up the holes and good as new,
you can see from the rear I have waxed oil all in the inner so no more rust,
cleaned the paint where I needed and welded on need to smooth it down,
and that's all done, the outer sill been drilled on bottom for spot welds more pictures to come Tommow, and more wax oil on the rear
good bye rust

Last few days :-
- Got the front roll cage feet welded up - see blog for more www.mattendean.co.uk
- Removed the now out of date seats, cleaned them up and now provisionally sold them
- Cleaned up the floor, whilst the seats are out and then re-sealed up holes in the floor pan. Also cleaned up other bits which are hard to reach, when the seats are in.
- Played around with lots of camera mounting points for my cheap (but good) GoPro copy camera. Think I have sorted it now, if I can find a way of flipping the images as the camera would be mounted upside down in its current planned location.
- Painted and waxoil'ed up the areas which were welded up.
- Played around finding suitable mounting points for the race rain light, think I have sussed this now (hidden in bumper), and tried mounts for a LED high level 3rd brake light.

Replaced wiper blades and alternator belt. Didn't have the tools to get the PAS / water pump belt off. It needed it!
woulda thought to remove any of the belts is just a basic 14mm spanner to loosen the pulley axle nut and then 12mm socket to screw up/down the tensioner to move the pulley & loosen the belt?
