I have recently had to remove my dual battery tray (mounted in the usual spot on the driver's side behind the headlight) and now I need a replacement. The only place I can see that the 2nd battery can fit now is over the shock tower on the passenger side.
I have heard of these trays before, but can not find anyone that sells them on the internet or in Perth. Can anyone help? I am even happy to swap the one I have (fully moulded, black powdercoated OL battery tray with clamps) for the one I need if anyone has one.

I am not all that keen on getting a random fabricator to knock one up as it seems the only support nearby is from thin sheet metal which will not support the battery's weight, and mounting a brace between body and shock tower I am told is yellow sticker material.

Cheers.

Hi Ben

Sounds like a custom job. I have not seen one in that position. You would need support to the guard as well as to the wheel arch.

Let us know what you find and send a photo before and after.

Regards Derek.
