It's a secret location, known only to a handful of trusted Monkeys & secret service personnel.

A spot more boxetry today. I sanded down the welds on the battery box, added a little more weld to the low spots & generally cleaned it up. I now have a 3mm steel plate, virtually bullet proof box. A little over-engineered maybe, but it matches the rest of the truck.  Smiley

I then fixed it in place by drilling 2 holes front & back, drilling & tapping corresponding holes in the chassis crossmembers to M8, then bolting the box to the chassis. The battery's weight is supported by the framework underneath.

Next job will be to make a retaining strap to stop the battery bumping around inside the box & damaging any electrical connections.

Well spotted young Sir. Yes, it should. Not finished yet. It'll have drainage holes, but probably won't bother with vents cos there won't be a lid on the box & there'll be an inch gap between the top of the box & the underside of the pick-up bed. There'll be an access hatch in the bed floor.

I was about to ask how you would gain access to the battery after the pickup bed was fitted. Question answered. Looking good.

Again, not much time at Chez Loony this afternoon, so I made a start on a strap to hold the battery in place. I bashed a bit of 2mm x 20mm steel into something approximating the right shape.
It fits snugly over the top of the battery & extends down the sides by 50mm. Next job will be to drill the box & fit 2 lengths of stud to bolt the strap down to.
