I go out to check my oil and I notice something looks different. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
The entire battery and tray has come off of the rusty engine compartment side wall, this isn't good. It looks like the bolts that held it in place are still attached to the tray at least on one side but have ripped through the sheetmetal. Now the battery is sitting right on top of the fuel line and pump so I'm taking the morning off from work to try to get it back where it goes. I think I'll be able to get to it and just get another piece of metal to put on the other side (hell hole) for a little more support and bolt it all back up there, hopefully with minimal hole drilling. |

Same thing happened to Joe a few years ago whe he was driving. We met when i offered to come over and weld on the replacement for him.
At least hit the area with a wire brush to take down the rust and spray it with some primer. if you are bolting and not welding, use some big fender washers on the back to give more surface for the tray to attach to the fender wall. In Joes case, his tray was just poorly welded on in the first place. It was not a big rust issue. Zach |
