Default Battery Tray

Has anyone tried this battery Tray ?

Part # - 10408951




The style battery tray we have, in my opinon, is trash and bends to easily.

My wife had someone survice my battery "for me" , and they bent it long ago, and im trying to find a replacement , but they are out of stock/back order everywhere i go

Mine bends easily as well, I don't like our set up with the bar at all. Getting the battery out is an ordeal in itself anyway, first time I almost lost my mind I was so pissed. That one looks ok, post back if you give it a try . Thanks

Did you use a battery box?
How did you mount yours ?

I already have 1/0 wiring running to the trunk so should be easy

trust me, if you don't want the hassle of relocating the battery, 26R makes life alot easier. Plus, its better to have the weight over the front tires as well. I would assume that's why they made the front end so heavy on this car. lol

You need a spare. Found mine online for $40, The junkyard said it came from a 2008 Buick Lucerne. I guess a Pontiac Bonniville GXP or a Cadillac DTS has the same rim. Its a 125/70 17
