Battery tray

[mad in general]

In the middle of removing the gearbox to send it off for a refurb. I've noticed that there is a chunk snapped off the battery tray. Can these be bought new? Or does anyone have one for sale?

Also, there is a bolt on this tray that goes into the suspension turret. This bolt snapped whilst trying to undo it and there is a bit stuck in the turret. Can I forget about this and not bother trying to remove the snapped bit and replace or is it something that should not be ignored?

Cheers,

Dave

For the battery tray i'd say any breaker would be cheapest, may be the same tray as non sport models too.

I have heard they are the same so fingers crossed.

Does anyone know if the small bolt to attach the tray to the turret is actually needed or can I do without it?

I had just one leg of the battery tray snap (the one closest to the firewall) while the other 4(?) bolts were fine and the car felt terrible - sluggish and noisier than normal with LOTS of vibration in the cabin at idle and when under load. TBH I think that you definitely need that one fixed to the turret...
