My old battery tray was so rusted out I had to remove it (along with some other rust). I was thinking of relocating it to the front trunk. Has anybody done this?
Cheers, Elliot |

I moved the battery to the front trunk, and retained use of the removable floor and full size spare storage.
If you're interested, i think i have the template i used to make it as well as a list of the hardware. Pictures are on my which show the fabrication and installation (although there aren't many). I started with a standard battery relocation kit, to get the wires and the hold-down clamps. In retrospect that was probably a waste of money since i didn't need the tray itself. You can buy the cables, connectors, and some metal bits to do the same thing for a lot less then the $70 that PerfProd charges for that kit. http://talking-dog.com/914/23.html .tim |
