leisure battery fitting

[MATTT]

In the process of ordering a few parts after scanning the various threads on here
Only 1 thing I've not checked is how do you mount the battery ?
Thers s no clamp and no one has mentioned how they did it
I guess it would need a bit of ply to protect the panel underneath too
Thanks

Mine had a clamp already in place

It's a snug fit but holds it secure

If you don't mind drilling a couple of holes in your battery tray you could use something similar to this:

I used something like this for my leisure battery - just made sure I treated the holes with waxoil and check underneath the battery every now and again for rust.

Has anyone used a battery tray off a scrap car.? I was thinking it would protect the metalwork underneath as well

Yeah, I used the halfords clamp too. It ain't pretty but it does the job for mot time

You can get Battery mats to neutralize acid spills and plastic boxes to mount them in if you really want.
