[bronco italiano]

I am trying to find the best palce to relocate my battery as I am making a removable front clip. Some guys have placed them under the driver/or passenger side. Please include some pics too that will help me out alot. Thanks, BI

I have two batteries. One is under the passenger seat and one is under the driver. I made battery boxes out of sheet metal with a flange at the top and cut the floor to fit. Slide the box in and weld to secure.

E-mail Dusty at West Coast Broncos, dusty@wcb4x4.com. He did a write up on his old website with pics of his battery relocate under the passenger seat with two batteries. That is where I got my info.

I'll take some of mine this week and post them

No pics, but the optima was mounted on it's side under the passenger seat. Funny looks when I go to jumpstart someone and hook there jumper cables up under the passenger seat. The bracket is very simple. 2 pieces of angle welded to the floor to make a tray. 2 links of chain, 1 welded to the angle the other welded to all thread are used to bolt a strap across the top (side?) of the battery. Home Depot eletrical department stuff to make the clean hole through the sheetmetal.
