new battery and shit arrived...





any suggestions on securing the battery in the box and the box to the floor?

I was thinking drilling two holes in the base of the box and using a securing strip of sorts tight over the battery and then bolted through the box and car floor.... plated of course

I have an aluminium home-made strap with some rubber sheet to keep it all still, worked a treat so far!

I have an Alu tray for the current battery, but will be getting rid of that as this battery needs to be in a box for TimeAttack regs :/

people only seem to sell the ally bracket ones, no enclosed ones,

your initial plan seems fair enough can get some small racket straps now tho
