 |
|
As Bay Window single and double cabs continue to come out of the woodworks, where are folks finding their replacement battery trays?
Are we jus reshaping and cutting to fit regular bus battery trays to retrofit into our trucks?
No one (Klassicfab, Wolfsburg West, Alan H Schofield, Autocraft, etc..) are making the proper unit we need.
What solutions are people coming up with?

I was looking through the website, didn't see one for trucks. Thanks for the tip.
I love Klassicfabs metal, I wish they would clarify more on the individual pieces and their locations, along with a little bit more user friendly menus.
I do some more searching on the site, thanks.

Thank you Skills, I came across a thread where you stated that you had one personally made for $150 years back.
Grateful you made the investment and contributed to having them available for all.
Roughly $60 isn't bad, shipping with Royal Mail is usually what makes me roll my eyes.
Thanks man. |
that was all I could do at the time. between phone calls etc it was expensive but I was happy to pay for a quality part
not sure if it changed...but I COULD NOT email AS, hence the phone call
