In an attempt to reduce weight and open up more space in the engine bay Spence bought a Braille battery. It's only a few pounds lighter than the factory group 27 battery but it's considerably smaller.
O.E.M. Battery Dimensions: L- 12 x W- 6.81 x H- 7.87 inches
Braille Battery Dimensions: L- 6.8 x W-4.0 x H- 6.1 inches
The car did not have a battery tray when we got it so we'd ordered a new repop from AMD early on.
Due to the downsized battery size the tray was way too big now. I began constructing a battery box custom made to fit the Braille. 1st thing I did was to make a paper mock up of the battery so I could determine the best mounting location.
Then I began fabricating. We decided to make the box large enough to get our fingers in both sides to enable us to lift the battery back out when needed.
An insulating rubber mat was cut for beneath the battery.
