Is there interest in a Trunk battery tray?

Post by azygoustoyou »

Hi all,
While I'm waiting for my supplies to come, I was wondering if there would be any interest in a fiberglass battery tray. Noticing on most cars the tray is always missing. The tray would include the drain hose.

:arrow: Can someone tell me if all the years were the same? Did the tray have one drain hose or two? I looked at my 78 and it has two drain holes in the base on the car.

How about looking into building a battery tray with the 2 side storage boxes built into one unit or connecting pieces. Like in the post "A few custom bits installed today"

Seeing how your doing a lot of custom work... there are a pile of solutions here:

I will be using one of the options here I just haven't decided yet. In my spider the battery was originally in the engine bay. I have filled in the hole where the rusty battery tray used to be and am moving the battery to the trunk.

A lot of the stuff I use comes directly from the hotrodding suppliers or a junkyard from any car in the yard not model specific... Unless it is a body panel, control arm. Steering Arm or tie-rod and that has to come from a FIAT supplier for sure and I have to modify most those parts in order to use them on my car as well... :)
