Wassup fellas, well It's a shitty day and I got bored.
I bought an ETX14 battery a while back (seems to be a favorite amongst the drag race crowd) weighs only 12lbs!
So I've been browsing pics and threads to see what people are doing for mounting, I see fancy braille mounts, I see drilling holes in the firewall for a basket type mount etc... figured someone would want to do it with the OEM stuff on the cheap and here is what I did...
So the OEM battery tray/mount has the perfect sized hole for the ETX14 battery, problem is there is a little hump in the way.
SHAVE THAT BITCH DOWN!.
If you don't own a dremel I don't know what you are doing with your life.
The battery falls right in there (don't shave too much you want some friction).
Problem now is there is an empty little pit where the battery can dip into and lay very crooked.. solution, muthafuckin plastic cup, trim the lip off till your battery is sitting flush.
Now what, OMG the OEM strap is to longzzz!
No problem, line that bitch up (tight) and drill a SMALL hold then thread your hold down bolt into it, BAM new tie down.
To swap, pop out the baby battery and pop your OEM battery back in, put the rod in the orignal hole and done.
All for the low low price of free, sexy little baby battery.
I am only using this for the track, will not be using it daily so not concerned about how long it takes to drain etc...
