Hi all,

I have a xy 351c falcon and the battery was relocated in the boot, I have purchased a new reproduction 351 v8 battery tray from GT Ford Performance but i can't work out how to put it in, every way i try the holes don't line up down the bottom, or it hits the radiator, its driving me crazy !! where does that 'Z' bracket attach to either ??



I know it will be like explaining colors to a blind man but Any help would be appreciated,

Cheers,

Mal.

Hi Mal, I've looked at a few photo's of a GT engine bay on www.australianmusclecarsales.com.au and it would appear that there are huge differences between the battery trays of Windsors and Clevelands (please disregard my original post as it's pretty much
