I've been all over autobarn/repco searching for generic battery trays and no-one seems to sell any - They all seem to be those big 4wd type.I'm kind of guessing I'll have to go to a bunnings type store and get a small sheet of metal made up to suit the new battery.Anyone have pics of they're setups? - Need some inspiration Cheers,Jarrod.

The Nizpro car that I saw had a small dry cell battery which looked as though it was mounted on a slight angle.Problem is I don't have any decent pics of it.

Goin for a bigger filter or?Whatever you do, do it quickly... Get the kit on dude, your missin out on spool city! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
