Hi,

Has anyone found a plastic/resin battery box that fits a standard battery hole?
I want to fit a battery box in the hole after the rust repair (minor). Then vent the box outside via a small pvc tube.

I like the idea of finding an aftermarket plastic or resin box because I've got a hard case rather than the fibre cover (which needs to be replaced again). I'm a bit scared of using the boot in case something metallic falls onto the battery terminals.

This will be step one before getting the boot lined (MDF & Carpet).

Cheers,
Mark.

hmm... interesting
I'm sort of after the box though to remove the battery gasses through a vent and not have any resting on top of the battery. (or move and damage the top of the battery. I think this how the battery leaked to begin with.)

Was looking at these. Look very "designed by supercrap" though.

I used one of those to make a cover

Maybe try looking at something for a boat, to make it 'sealed' and vented to the outside, you might need to make the cutout in the boot floorpan a bit bigger though. Sounds like this is not a bad idea....

My mate runs one of those battery boxes in his s13 silvia. You need to strap them down and youd be hard pushed to get into the standard hole.
