Battery mounting

I decided to re-use the original battery tray from the MX-5 and some of the mounting components. Firstly I had to drill 2 holes for the bottom of the plastic tray molding. I had to be very careful when measuring to make sure the holes didn't overlap with any of the chassis bars that run underneath the scuttle.


And here is the tray in position:


For the LHS I re-used the mounting bracket and upright bar. Across the top I used a new box section stainless bar:


and on the RHS I will use some M5 threaded bar with large washers at the bottom either side of where it goes through the panel to spread the load:
