Title: Where to get a new battery tray? Stealers?
Post by: Bellend on 26 February 2011, 22:24

Battery tray is rusty n that, painted it but it won't take long at all for it to come back through.

Where can I get a new one and anyone know the sorta price I'm looking at?

Looking to buy one, 2 pack primer it, paint it then thickly lacquer it.

Cheers.

That's what I'd do.

I doubt stealers will have anymore in stock, and if they do I bet they cost a small fortune.

You're better off buying one with little rust (scrappy, ebay etc) and rubbing it back, treating any little bit of rust it may have and then powder coat it.

Hmm Cheers I'll have a look then. Mines pitted bad enough. Bodged it with some silver paint for temp measure.

It's pitted, I've painted it but it will be back, I just want a mint one rather then a rust repaired one really.

I agree. That could be made to look mint with abit of work. Ive used kurust myself, converts rust really fast, good stuff.
