Hi Everyone,
Well, after a month or so travelling around the Kimberley, then a week recovering from travelling, I'm back on board. My apologies to those of you who have been waiting for some new Battery Tray's to be completed, you could say I've been doing some product testing :)
Last week John and I started a batch of Trays, these are the new type that will fit both the D2 (pre-facelift) and D2A (facelift) models; we're aiming to have these completed and ready to ship in around a week.
The new trays will be Powder coated mild steel, the same as the last run, only these will be finished to a higher standard, and can now accommodate the D2A.
We'll be selling the trays for $179 plus postage, and I'm happy to take orders for them now, just PM me for a shipping quote.
If you've registered your interest in this thread, then I'll PM you with an update.
Cheers, Carl

Would one be available uncoated or even unassembled? Just that I have been planning one to incorporate the original lid and storage for the jack and a false floor, as the optimas are shorter, to fit the relays and winch solenoid in.

With the ECU mount on the back, clearance to the bonnet is minimal. There's also very little room for the jack once all is bolted in, but you could probably mount it in place of the ECU (as you have a V8?).
There is room underneath the tray that could be used for a solenoid, but I'd be mounting that where you could see and/or access it.
Did you want to share your plans? Perhaps I could save you the fabrication trouble :)
Cheers, Carl
I can fit the batteries and jack as I use the ECU space which is why the batts are raised. but if the terminals are towards the middle of the box (both so they face each other) they JUST fit inside the raised corners of the lid. And yeah V8 with is joyous consumption.

Hey Carl,
Have the new batch of trays been made, sent out?
I have a couple of new Optima's here wanting to be fitted:)
Cheers
