Robstar Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Yo! Just a small request, could perhaps a few of you post pictures of the battery tray area in your engine bay? A bit of an odd request, but it serves a purpose ultimately on my side haha (picture reference). Quote
nizm0zed Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 its been cut out and smoothed off now. Quote
Robstar Posted September 9, 2008 Author Posted September 9, 2008 This is the current look of mine, it appears to be tin pop riveted over a bad area. Cut it out and redo the entire area? Also, it seems I'm missing a battery bracket.. anyone got a spare for sale haha. Quote
Hunter Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 You will be lucky to find a battery tray, the ones that haven't rusted with battery acid would still be in cars LOL. You would be better off making up a custom tray of some description or mount you battery in the boot. Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted September 9, 2008 Moderators Posted September 9, 2008 Another hopeful option is to look for a damaged zed; even a 2+2 battery tray area are similar. Cut out its battery tray and surrounding metal and start the fun! What I did with mine is remove the spot welds from the battery tray and bolt it in rather than weld it in. You can tackle all of the rust then and remove the tray for cleaning! (Just looks abit odd) Quote
Robstar Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 Indeed that does sound like a good option! But after a 10th look and a few measurements, it appears I won't even be able to fit the battery in the front anyway with a VH41DE in there.. so I guess in the back it'll be going haha, that may be better for weight distribution anyway.

nat0_240_chevZ Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 i do have a spare rough cut of a 240z tray, yes you can run a smaller (slightly) bat in there as i have had my vh in there and there is room for one!!! nat0 Quote
Robstar Posted September 10, 2008 Author Posted September 10, 2008 I am quite interested in that spare rough cut tray good sir! Quote
