Battery Box

[Greeny.]

I will be moving my battery to the boot in Oct so I can bolt my V6 filter directly onto my TB, with the following box whats the best way of securing it down in the spare alloy wheel space?

Benp chopped the spike thats usually for the spare wheel off, then just drilled through the bottom of the box/bootfloor, and used some hefty nuts/bolts/washers to keep it in place

Sounds like a plan, even though it should fit next to the spike ok. Even though doing that wouldnt the battery then bash around the box as it wouldnt be flat?

 

[f0xy]

is it level next to the spike? Think it was possibly removed so it would sit flat maybe, not sure!

My battery is too small for my box behind the seat, so its been padded out with foam to make it a tight fit!

Buy a small one, and put it under the passenger seat-Better weight distrubution apparently

Keeping something heavier in the front 50% of the car? It's handy having something heavy above your rear axle!

Look at my box tomorrow Dan

Not according to mark fish its not, best weight distribution is under the passenger seat, to combat the drivers weight.

I thought it would be a good idea to move it to the rear to distribute the current weight over the rear to make it less twitchy tbh, whatever the case I dont want to buy a £90 battery to lob under my seat at the moment as I only bought my current £50 standard replacement one 6 months ago, just need to move it so I can bolt a V6 filter directly to my TB.
