WTB: Battery tray for 1973 Tii

[JsnPpp]

Looking for a battery tray for my 1973 Tii.  Let me know what you have!

 

Thanks,

Jason

tii batteries belong under the back seat. Trays belong in your neighbor's pool.

 

 

Sorry!

 

:D

Is it the same as non Tii?

Nope

I need one too, but am likely going to have to build one from a non-tii bolt in type.  The tii battery tray welds in and is shorter vertically than a non-tii to clear the master cylinder brake lines.  It also fastens with the battery hold down at the rear, rather than the side to better clear the alternator.  My strategy is to create a bolt in tray for a tii by hacking up a non-tii tray to the correct dimensions and locate the battery hold down to the rear of the tray.  That’s my plan at least…

I like it! I may end up doing the same thing.

Missed this! (well, I didn't really miss it bob).

I actually have it relocated in the back and want to move it back up front only with a bolt in tray 👍
