I’m installing a new battery tray and was wondering how the ECU mounting-bracket was originally connected to the battery tray? I have seen a few attached with screws and some are welded on?
Can anyone tell me what was original? Thanks, Dragan |

OK, let's make this idiot proof for me.
I can follow the comment about the two screw at the front of the tray but you lost me at "... I think the front bracket piece "bends" or curves over the end of the ECU and 2 6mm cheesehead screws connect the curved piece to the bracket that is attached to the tray...". Here a picture of what I have. Thanks, Dragan PS: The PO had the ECU bracket welded to the front and left side of the old tray.  |

However, the pic that jsayre914 posted (thanks) shows that the bracket is fixed with one screw and two spot welds - on the long edge. Is that original? Thanks, d |

Thanks, d Not original, just Joe's way of doing things (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) In Joe's pic, you can see the "curved piece" held to the bracket with the 2 (should be cheesehead) screws.
