Where to get a new battery tray? Stealers?
« 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.

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.
