Thread: Deuce Battery Placement

Tweet

Here's a home-made battery box on my 32 roadster.

Constructed from 1/2" x 1" rectangular tubing.
18 gage stainless floor plate with a 1/2" thick pad of neoprene rubber between battery and stainless plate.

As you can see a couple of heat deflecting panels - front and inside - were pop riveted on.
With glasspacks, not needed, but when I went to turbo-muffs and later to Two Chamber Flowmasters things got tight.

I found that running the battery under the body seldom required the addition of water.
Twice in about a three year period.

I'm running Optima's now and find them to be an excellent battery.

Some Costco stores are selling Optima batteries.
