Hi Folks,

Hoping someone can help here please! I am looking for the part number of a panel or repair panel for the battery tray in the boot.

Any info is helpful!

Many thanks! :thumb:

Trying.... The pics I have from the body man are quite detailed - I need him to step back a pace or so to put it into context!

Just had another look at the close up pics - it's the battery tray in the boot directly in front of the rear valence for the rear bumper - in other words, the rear valence has gone and the battery tray at the back of the car has gone with it...

Anyone? :thumb:

Item 2 Mike.
I recently called for a price and was quoted somewhere in region of £160 as it is attached to a chassis rail etc. I made my own. Dead easy.

Sweep - you have PM.

Jim - I appreciate the advice - my man is happy I think to make one - he's allergic to rusty bits!! Hope you are keeping well?? :thumb:

All good Mike thanks.
I bought a cheapo rear panel to graft in rusty sections around towing eye if it helps. Think it was around £30 but saved lots of time making new piece.
I can dig out details if needed.

Thanks Jim - I'll keep you posted - if you've seen my build thread lately, you'll see the chap I'm using is very good. Like I said, he doesn't like rust so much which is fair enough!!

Seen it Mike. The boy can fab/weld!
Don't think a flat battery tray will cause him too many problems.
Top work.
Jim.
