Wanted - Battery box

Post by Welly »

Anyone got a main battery box? I broke one of the captive fixings on mine so can't clamp the battery down now :roll:

Same thing happened to my D8, I riveted a small plate on it. No breakers near you then?

Last time I looked this place had a couple of D8's & can't be too far from Welton Hall
I imagine the battery box would be the same, but I'm sure young Mr Earwig or someone could confirm or deny that point.

i can't see why the battery box would need to be modified between models, that part of the cars is mostly the same d8/d9

What with still having the hold-down brace thingy with it's one good fixing facing you I'm going to try a bodge with a secretly positioned tie-wrap on the other side so it looks secure and hope he don't force it :oops:

Epic bodge now completed :lol:

Fit hold-down bracket with it's one good fixing, drill hole in other side of battery box to accept Huuuuuuggggeeee tie wrap and conceal to make battery bracket appear secure, replace battery lid, wipe clean and return to customer :supafrisk:
