Battery Box ??

[Mrs O/H/C]

Right, The Cortina boot area is undergoing a tidy-up.

At the moment there is a battery tray in the boot area and we was thinking of putting a box there as they look nice and tidy

The question is ..How are the batteries secured within the box,is there a type of clamp that come with the box ?

 

Would be grateful for any info

The fibre glass box is just that Lee,no clamp at all

but you could devise something

Thank you Kev, do you know if the boxes come in different sizes ?

 

I take it then that the battery is just supposed to be rattlling around inside of it

you can get them in different sizes also for the little Varley batteries

the box that I had the battery was a tight fit

Lee when i had one i used high density foam padding (similar to roll cage padding) around the sides of the battery to stop it moving about-worked a treat.

Some kind of strap, like you get on a rucksack would work well

i bought an ally cage for mine which has a clamp on the top, vry nice finish and looks tidy.

Ive got a rally type battery tray in the boot of my cortina i got it from west wales rallly spares its a deep tray with 2 high sides and a clamp top its nice and neat and fits perfect between the rear light and rear inner arch, it was quite cheap too
