1973 tii restoration photo and dimension help

[mjcari]

Hi Guys,

 

I am resorting my 1973 tii and the car had some mods done to it that we are undoing as we are essentially putting the car back to stock.

 

1.) Specifically I am moving the battery back into the engine compartment and I have to re-make a tii battery tray. This tray is welded in to the car, not bolted in like the non-tii cars. I need to know the dimensions of the tray (width and depth) and the distance from the bottom of the tray to the top of the frame rail. We have pictures of a tray to know what it looks like, we just want to know the dimensions.

 

2.) Does anyone have a picture of the radiator support without a radiator in it so I can see the holes that are punched into the core support and how the radiator is fastened to it. Ours was zip-tied to the core support and the core support was cut to widen the opening.

 

thank you!!

 

Mike

The holes are rectangular and have speed nuts clipped into them.  Here is a generic image of something similar.

I had mine out recently and took a few photos.  Do these help?

Not sure if any of these will help you.  All from my 73tii with Behr AC.  The battery tray sits very close to the top of the alternator.  Mine was welded to the body by a PO.

 

Here is a picture of a 71 nose.

Thank you both for the photos. Huge help. I found a local 1972 tii and I am going to measure off of the car on Friday. Between your photos and the measurements I will get I should be good to go!
