the way it fits right down low between the factory front panel uprights means theres not a great mass of securing needed to be done as the ally angle is wedged up against those uprights anyway any tendency for the battery to tilt forward is stopped by that cross brace rubber cover (mil spec) fitted to batt positive and rubber lined lid should reduce chances of unwanted electrical contact!!!

Looking good.
Maybe I should move my battery now.

hi
who needs a spare wheel anyway ive just carried a can of tyre weld for the last 5 or so years never had to use it yet and lets hope it stays that way . you can tell the battery is up front there the car handles perceptively better it just feels more balanced like it was meant to be . with a slightly heavier typ4 engine out back it evens things out a bit
