What year & model Nav do you have? D40? D22?

 

[Dave]

It would be D22.

You cant fit a second battery under the bonnet of the mobile salon.

Matt should be jumping on these topics when work is quiet, have seen some of his work on other posts and its top notch.

I plan on buying a battery box and fitting that in the little compartment behind the wheel arch in the tray (I have drawers), well thats if it will fit!

i have a 2003 d22 3.3 so i think i can make a bracket to go near the fire wall on passanger side. still would like to see other setups though

battery tray

cost so far tray off ebay $150
redarc solanoid about $120
60 amp 500 cca dual purpose battery $160
wire and battery terminals about $50 had extra wire for a few other jobs
still believe its a cheap system and simple

Ive built and installed my own. Takes time but I found a template on the internet somewhere for the tray itself. Went to my local tafe and got the teachers to build it, they ended up turning it into a mini project for their students! Wired it up no probs.

 

[fonzy]

hey cooper have you still got that template

 

[Cooper]

Nah sorry man I dont. I printed it out off the internet around 3 years ago.
If you try searching it might still be around, ill also have a look for ya!
