Title: Show me your batteries!
Post by: Zonda_ on March 14, 2013, 13:26
My battery bracket has been bodged before I got the car, I'm trying to put it right but I don't know what it should look like.  Can you post pics of your battery (original location) so I can see what I need to do.  I have the threaded bar but the metal bracket seems wrong to me.  Thanks.

Bizarre, I'm looking at it as we speak. How about a direct link...

It's the only one I have uploaded of the engine bay I'm afraid.

Ah, it's something to do with imageshack, my computer refuses to open things on there.  I've managed to sort it by removing the battery cradle/holder, drilling a hole underneath the original and cutting the rectangular locators off the original bracket.  Look pretty much standard now.   s:) :) s:)
