So here is my current state of my battery tray. I have removed the motor and I'm cleaning the bay to have it painted; hopefully soon!
 I have agreed to purchase a battery tray and support, and I see this new install and I wonder what options I have. Here's GA1142's recent post:  I was wondering what people have done to mount their tray. I was told of by my body man of the option of using "rivet nuts" so I can unbolt the tray and support to clean up under the tray. Looking for some .02 cents on the topic. It's being done on a real SIX, but not for concours status. For DE, AutoX, and beat my bro! Thanks.....ping away with ideas. |

On your original six, keep it in the stock location and use an Optima or other totally sealed battery. No acid to spill or rain spreading acid.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
