BruceA Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi All I'm going to need to fabricate the two battery brackets on the bulkhead, my car came with a big hole where they used to be and unless I'm missing something no one makes them. Anyone fancy posting close up photo's, dimensions etc any info gratefully received. Cheers Bruce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barry p cook Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Hi Bruce, I had to make one of the brackets as there was only one left on my shell. They are fairly easy to make if you take your time but making drawings of the brackets will be quite time consuming. It would be easier to make a couple of cardboard templates which I am happy to do if you pm me with your address. Photo attached of the one I made. Regards, Barry.

Malbaby Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Agree with Barry.....make your own. Also consider making or buying a battery tray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Agree with Barry.....make your own. Also consider making or buying a battery tray. Dont bother buying the repro battery area repair section as its very poor, your better off making your own just remember to put the dip in it for the column. Stuart.

BruceA Posted October 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi Barry Thanks for the photo that probably gives me what I need as I didn't really know what the lower bit looked like I've got a height from what was left on the car but any idea on the approximate width from bulkhead to edge? Sadly I've already fitted the repro battery tray and all of you are correct it's a bloody awful panel. Cheers Bruce Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 I look at it this way if someone did not go to the bother of making pattern parts where would we be! Yes some of them are a problem to fit but they can be made to fit. Bastuck are making panel work for our cars and will be re-intrducing absolute panels in the near future.I for one applaud them all for going to a great deal of expense to enable us to repair our cars using new panels. Look out for the rear valance TR4/4A/5 due end of this year from Bastuck Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
