“ when you start one of those jobs and half way through you say WHY!! “
Due to the general poor weather I decided to tackle a small in door job, the battery tray from the passenger side had suffered badly along with everything else on the passenger side
A fairly straight forward job, or so I thought 🤨
I decided that the original was to far gone to save and so set about building a new one.
One sheet of steel and measurements taken from the original tray.
Mistake number 1.....complete school boy error!! , I didn’t measure the opening in the floor..... the new floor I built🙄 funnily enough it wasn’t the same size as the old tray.
After folding and then straightening many many times It started to look like this
Spot welded for neatness.
Mistake number 2....who knows what I was thinking 🤔, it didn’t FIT
trying to be too millimetre perfect I didn’t allow for the folded ends!!
bodywork adjustment tools required
Now it fits🎉
before and after.
