Hi guys, I have a 01 TD 90 series and just wanted to know if anyone had any info or even pics to help me out. I am about to chuck a 2nd bettery in and I am looking at welding up a bracket from a bit of 20x20 angle or something similar. Still brainstorming at this stage but any comments appreciated.
The commonsense place for the 2nd battery is behind the left headlight obviously but thats about as far as I have got-I only picked it up Friday afternoon!!!
Thanks
Tim

Have done this exercise, your second battery when fitted to the l/h side of the vehicle is a virtually mirror image of your present battery installation.
Cost for bolts, nut, carrier came to the grand total of $48.40.
The shock part was $56 for a bleep y plastic battery tray which i baulked at !
Used some thin hi density rubber cut to the appropriate size to go under battery.
Have used identical batteries (exide extremes) for swapability and piranah mk2
dual battery controller - so far so good.
