[TR] Battery box replacement

[Ibsen Dow]

I just finished my battery box replacement this year. My box was being held
together with fiberglass and bondo as I knew in time this was going to be a
major task in repair. I have attached some pics for your review. I cut along
the seams (some of the seams had not rotted away) of the old box, and spot
welded the box in place not touching the scuttle plate assy.
Take your time, grind down the welds and use fillers to smooth out the work.
Good luck,
Ibsen

  For those of you that have been there, done that, and got the T-shirt;

  How do you get the upper lip of the new battery box under the scuttle
  assembly?

  Does the lip go in first and the box tilt down into the body?

  Does the box go in first and then pry the scuttle assembly over the lip?

  Cut more metal from the bulkhead and weld a replacement strip in later?

  Remove the scuttle assembly? (please, no!)

  TIA

  Andy
