I've seen a photo of these on the forum, once. I've not found it again. I'd like to add an aux batt and put it on the compressor shelf. So if any one knows of any pics of this I'd like to have a look and work out some of the details. Like dimensions of battery. Stone gaurd etc.
Or build a slightly larger shelf to go under the drivers seat. Is it worth the effort for the extra 15Ah?


Thanks

I had a Remco RM 12-80 on its side in the vacant compressor cradle for a couple of years before moving it to a D4. I made a base plate that protruded past the battery for protection. To fit the battery I would slide it on my legs that were poked under the car then fit the base plate once the battery was in the cradle. The base plate had tabs that hooked over the inside edge of the cradle so that it couldn't work its way out.
