Anyone ever replace their battery tray? How do you get old one off and install new one - looks like a pain in the butt.Help.

you need to cut some spot welds. Yup looks like a pain.

Since I don't have a real grinder, I couldn't get the entire battery tray out. You don't need to. Just cut off anything that isn't attached to the car. What I mean is, you can leave the metal that is flush with the body. That's what I did. It doesn't have a show car look, but it's pretty much hidden anyhow.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

The following is from the Ed Parks website.

BATTERY TRAY REPLACEMENT

Q: I was wondering what is the best way to replace a rusted out battery tray?

A: The battery tray is welded to the car in 3 locations. This area and the part that makes a 90% turn seldom has any damage. If you trim the old tray, leaving about 1" of good metal where it is welded, and then trim off the new tray to overlap, you can use sheet metal screws to fasten them together. Works perfectly. If you don't do it this way, you will need to remove the seats and rear carpet panel and insulation from inside the car, because you will start a fire when welding
to the bulkhead. Hope this helps. BTW, we have done it both ways, and NO more welding, NO way.

Does anybody have info on relocating the battery to the front? I think I saw a site where someone sold an installation kit for that. Thx
