I need to replace my battery tray and support. See:
(IMG:http://stevew11.home.mindspring.com/batterytray.jpg) So how do I remove the old rusted out support. I've never done any welding or cutting in my life! But doesn't look that tough. What do I use to cut out the old support? Where should I cut? At the base of the support I guess, then file down any rough edges left? Looks like there's a small rust hole to the right of the support, eh? Why is the color of the metal in this area brown? Looks like the PO sprayed on some primer? Steve |

You could get the battery out of the engine compartment entirely. http://www.renegadehybrids.com/accessories.htm
Look at the bottom of that page for some info on a billet battery hold down tray. I built an 11 foot custom battery cable for it. And it's designed for the best battery on the market...the Optima! |
