Battery Tray

[jeff1216]

Does anyone sell a battery tray replacement that can just be welded into place?

As you guys can see......I am gathering every possible piece I may need for my 72 to 70 swap................................I ordered around $1k worth of goodies from VB and Motorsports and around another $700.00 on Ebay......When I start this transformation....I want to make sure that I have every part I could possibly need.....May even have a couple xtras when I am done.

Better safe than sorry.

Nope! There are many of us that wish someone did though.

Your best bet is to search the junk yards for one that is not rusted (if you're VERY lucky). Next best is to either repair what you have or have a new piece fabricated (EXPENSIVE).

Sorry I couldn't have had better news for you.

after manny manny attempts to find one, my suggestion is to move the battery to the back and fab up a nice place to put some accerrocies(much easier than fabbing a bettery tray) in the previous area, unless off course you are trying to stay orrigional.

i share your pain

In theory there were quite a few in the UK, as there are a number of LHD cars that have been imported over here, and converted to RHD. The LHD battery tray is probably discarded in the process as it is handed, and will not transfer across to the other side.

If you are really interested in an original battery tray, it might be worth making some enquiries this side of the pond, as there are cars being converted all the time over here, and there are only a few places will actually undertake the conversion, and who might still have the battery tray.

Hope it helps
