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. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I got it attached well enough to get me to work this morning, I'll get it put in better after the weekend, it'll sit at the office until monday.
This isn't the original battery tray, it is one that the shop bolted in a year or two ago, it looks like there was only one bolt left holding it and it ripped through the weakened metal. So, I have used a couple of washers to hold where it is torn, and sheetmetal screws in the other two holes. One of the screws has already loosened ( on the front side of the compartment there is a dip in the sheetmetal that made it hard to get the screw in) but it looks like it will hold until I can at least get to my dads house where he has all of the proper tools and hardware to secure it properly. Pics of my hellhole forthcoming, I think I could fit my hand in the hole... |
