Since I had to search extensively for the installation of a battery stand and tray, I decided to write up the process that I used to weld in my new one.
This 'upgrade'/'enhancement' to the 914 is probably the easiest welding project that I've done yet. I replaced mine because I was replacing the suspension ear and engine shelf and the battery tray was starting to show signs of rust. It also allowed me to check the frame rail underneath. Here's the before shot. It doesn't look as bad as others, but I wanted to do it 'right' since I was in there. Attached image(s)

i haven't done this myself, but a shop did it for me. i would recommend that to help align and locate the tray and support, use the bracket that covers/holds/surrounds/mounts the ECU. the ECU mount bolts to the tray and to the engine shelf. i have a 1.8 and the battery tray is off just enough that the ECU mount cannot both bolt to the tray and the engine shelf.
