Just thought I'd put in my first install guide.
Step 1:
But the Piranha battery tray - I bought mine on eBay for $169 delivered - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=110773971746
Step 2:
When I received the tray, I noticed that there was no hole in the tray. This is needed in order to hold the nuts on the other side of the tray when putting your bolts through:
So off to my mates workshop to get the hole put in:
Result:
Step 3:
I followed the instructions supplied to the letter, the only difficult bit was tightening the nuts through the battery tray under side. It's a small spot and hard to get to with your fingers. I used an offset spanner, but even then it was hard work!
Step 4:
Drill the holes through the tyre guard and get your bolts through and tightened up on the other side. I put the nuts on directly to the wheel arch and by passed the mud guard. This ensured a tighter fit. The mud guard just goes over the top to cover the bolts anyway.
Step 5:
Very straight forward, follow the instructions and just do all your bolts up tightly. The instructions are pretty good, but there was a bit of head scratching involved until I worked out they forgot to cut the hole in my tray.
Finished product:
Now all that is needed is the actual battery and the running of all my cables. I'll put that on a separate thread.
Hope this helped! Any questions let me know and I'll expand on it here.
Cheers,
Loz
