Whilst it's a good idea, and you have made a decent job of it, why not just buy a ready made fibreglass battery box and fit an AGM battery, that way it doesn't need vents and you don't need to cut out your floor? Just my 2ps worth. ________________________________________ Team Running Engine again!Team Negative Camber! My Budget track engine build thread! Now appearing at a Trackday near you!!  |

Just my 2ps worth. Good question !!!!! Varta battery is 3 months old & cost lots !! Box cost me zero pennies in money as it was made by me at one of my customers premises . My car isn't stripped & has everything stnd on it apart from A/C & I only drive it 2-3 times a month so need a good battery Must admit I do like putting my touch on things & not just buying ready made stuff always |
