Looking through scores of old magazines over the years I found a lot of the trunk mounted batteries were pretty basic with just a couple of rods and flat stock holding it in place similiar to most 80's-90's cars and trucks. For weight some racers used very large batteries instead of the standard size. The weight box works too. Either way your drilling holes or welding something to mount to. Some of the Mopars I saw in old magazines had the best looking setups. I don't have any pics to post, Dave may have some [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img].

i found a few different versions. thoughts?

Middle one looks most era correct-maybe try to tone down the shine, get rid of the clear plastic hoses and uses black rubber instead.. Last one looks to billetly/modern with it's cast and polished brace. First one looks kinda amaturish but that is the look many are after with all out race cars.

thanks for thoughts. i think the first version was used in the mid 60s hemi cars. the second is aluminum. the third is polished but its availble without that shiny finish. i love this stuff
