What is this? Curved metal in the battery bay of a Puma 110
(apologies if this is buried somewhere in the manual, but I could not find it...)
Brains trust,
After poking around I found this black curved piece of metal in the battery bay, obviously there from the factory but I have no idea what it is there for / supposed to do!
Any ideas?

Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comYep. Same item used in other models of Landies, including the P38A Rangie although it was more obvious in my Rangie as it was with the jack in the spare wheel well whereas yours is just with the jack.

Ugh. Of course it is...
Thanks!

do yourself a favor and if you're going to use it get a pair of straits or some threaded rod and stop it from spreading out when the vehicle backs onto it...

Because I've got the second battery in there, I got rid of the steel thing and aquired two pieces of trianglular wooden blocks. They should'nt slip on tar either, which has been my experience with the steel, as it kind of pinched its way out.

Hi,
Mine leaks slowly, which is a pain. I really should buy a decent bottle jack.
cheers

I poked around in the battery bay again today, and damn there is a lot more room on the outer side than I first thought. Dual battery is on the to do list, but until then I filled up the rest of the space with a set of jumper leads, gloves, rubber mat and base plate (marine ply) for the jack.
Closer inspection of the standard wheel chock does not fill me with confidence per blknight's earlier post. Without bracing it can easily be squashed if incorrectly used. Might just toss it and replace it with wood / plastic blocks. Simple is good!
The jack has not been used in anger yet, but it will be interesting to see if a standard bottle jack (i.e. without the hook thingamy on top) works for jacking up the front axle.
In other news there are at least 4 different places I can see daylight though the bottom / side of the battery bay, mostly through grommets that don't even vaguely seal, so deep water crossings and excessive bulldust (I said dust!) might not be a good idea until that gets sorted.
