you need to spot or mig weld it.
its best to bent the braces to the side or
remove them completely and then install the box.
drill some holes in the edge
and weld in the holes to the firewall etc..
brazing will warp everything. i
did the same thing to my gt6 about 10 yrs ago and ive now
had to cut it all
out and repair it.

Subject: [Spits] New battery box
I drilled out all the spotwelds and got my
old rusty battery box out. I
drilled a little too far just one or two times.
I had planned on
drilling holes around the perimeter of the new battery box
and faux
spotwelding it in. Before I drilled any holes and was trial fitting
the
box I didn't see how I could seal it after I welded it. I guess thick
paint was all that sealed the old one. I don't know. Anyone have a
better
idea of how to install a new battery box? The old braces look
like
swisscheese too.
