Check out my new battery cover Check out my new bat cover. I designed it to cover as much as I could and am in the process of designing one for the other side. Let me know what you guys think. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Check out my new battery cover Wow! That looks really good. Nice job. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
My momma always said, "Say something nice about a person and they might make you a battery cover for free." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Okay, maybe not but it was worth a try. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Check out my new battery cover Covers a little more area than you are interested in?....traction control? The cover is made out of 3/16" black plexi and held in with 4 allen head stainless bolts in nutserts...had to drill a few holes but I think it was well worth it. As for selling them.....well I dont know, would be a chore...but I will give it some thought.

Re: Check out my new battery cover Good job but I don't see the point. GM finally makes a car that has the battery easily accessible and you want to cover it up and make it more difficult to access. Nice work though just not for me.

Re: Check out my new battery cover There is no need to get to the bat, but if I do it is 4 easy allen head screws to pull out...not a prob. And with it set up like this there is no..."whoops I dropped a wrench across my terminals" Plus I think it looks way better. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: Check out my new battery cover Very nice there....that gives me an idea: I'm in wheelchair and right now to get access to the engine bay (to put in oil etc.) I have to sit on top of the battery. If I can make that piece stronger and have better support, it may withstand my weight of 115lbs.

Re: Check out my new battery cover Yeah...the SS will be here soon and that will add a little to the visual apeal. Next is to make the cover for the other side and put a bowtie on it.
Sonny...this plate would work good for you...you could get it made out of 1/5" or little thicker and use plates as spacers instead of little standoffs and you should be fine.
