Broken battery mount
Broken battery mount I am just wondering how many people have broken battery mounts. I know of the 3 camaros i have been under the hood all three of them have a broken mount. Also, when i went to the junk yard to get a new one, that was broken too. 
2 of us bolted a strip of metal over them while the other one just strapped it down so we can all race. It has been fixed for a very long time, but this suddenly popped into my head and i feel like making a thread for it.

We went to NAPA auto parts and bought a damn tie down then hooked it to a powersteering line. LOL he needed it tied down what can i say: barf :

i never ran a hold down, im running a optima and it's so big the ac line hold it down, and in order to install it, the battery has to go in sidways and i still pass tech inspections at the track.

Yeah, I think you're right on the Poncho difference... it is tucked in there pretty good. 2 years with a broken lip and neither track in this area gave a damn. 
Personally, I think anyone that could come up with an aluminum replacement tray would make a mint... imagine... no more broken lips AND you could even drill/tap it for hold-down bolts. Might even help with cooling the power-steering fluid if designed right.

I think BMR makes a metal one.
