Title: Battery concerns
Post by Butterfingers on Apr 9^th, 2006, 6:15pm

Anyone know of a good place preferably in the London area where I can get my battery secured into the battery tray.

Basically I have the J rod which is hanging loose and corroded.

Thanks

hi the battery is held by a bolted plate on the left hand side of the battery. the j bolt along with other components is used to fit the battery cover.

My scorp didn't have any holder nor a battery cover, so i've made me a custom holder and a custom cover, i'll take a picture if you want to see

Cheers

Here is the battery holder
There can be observed the original part in the left of the picture, and the rest was custom made. Also the shape of it gives an incline to the cover so water will go down faster

and this is the making of the battery cover

For the cover i have used a big plastic commercial to a "soft-drink company" ;D

The cover is pretty large and covers half of the aux fusebox, and almoust half of HB Case. When i'll have time i'll take some pics with cover put in place.
