Here's some pics of a battery tray that I pulled out of a car today, BY HAND!!! I didn't use a chisel or even a screw driver to pull the tray off. I just kept pulling and twisting, and it broke free without a struggle. None of the weld beads had any penetration. I broke all the welds off with only a vice grips and a little twist. I don't believe the guy (who shouldn't be allowed near a 914 with a welder) even clamped the tray and stand as he tried to weld. I think the guy tried to learn how to weld and install a battery tray in this 914 at the same time, and didn't do either one. I say he got the welder out of the box and start touching the car with it first thing, without a bit of practice.
Here's the weld along the back of the tray, against the right engine bay wall.   Here's the underside of the tray/stand, and the alledged welds.   |
