Since My tray fell off now is a good time to consider relocating the battery. Where did you put it and do you like it there. Would you move it to another location?? My car is not a conocours. Its a daily driver. Any feedback (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Where the engineers decided it would provide the best location to offset the drivers' weight, keeping it close to the center of the car to keep the moment of polar inertia low (as opposed to in front of the wheels, i.e early 911), and where it could do the most structural damage should it bleed battery acid (though that problem was probably not forseen).

Where the engineers decided it .... could do the most structural damage should it bleed battery acid (though that problem was probably not forseen). Wait a minute, "not forseen? These are GERMAN engineers, yes? I'd surmise that the engineers who designed the 914, those who were involved with the tooling, fabrication and construction of these cars, and the designers who wrote the specifications for the various sub-assemblies and outside contractor sourced parts (Bosch,Mahle,ATE,Thiessen Steel,etc.) did not foresee these cars lasting this far out from their build date.
