Lil' John,

I bought one his dual trays, last year and he said he had enough parts to put one together. I'd try him before something else.

I planned to mount mine in the stock location, but you're right about bracing it. I don't have the doghouse bolted up at the moment, but can take some mock up pictures if you need them.

I'll post pics tonite...I used a piece of 12X6X1/4 wall, sectioned it diagonally leaving a 12" wide base and a 6" tall side wall. I kept some of the outboard side wall as well. I used the factory fenderwall threadserts to catch the upright and then used a spacer and a thru the fender bottom bolt. the fender bottom isn't so much carrying the mass as it is keeping the tray from bouncing. I have a single large battery there now, but it will easily hold 2 smaller batteries(about yellowtop size). it gets it the way ever so slightly, but only have had to remove it for engine swapping, I can work around it for everything else.

Seems everybody likes the Sears Platinum series, now.

This is my plan

Plenty strong enough. Tray actually sits on inner fender, hidden bolt goes straight down through inner fender. My Pig has the prototype for every 55 stainless dual Optima he has made. (very old pics from day 1).

Interesting... what battery is that good for?

Unfortunately, I won't do TG.

Red tops mounted on end

FC????oh yeah, do it. I'm gunna find something for him to do for me.....his work is fricken amazing....."it makes you want to try harder..." no pics, knocked off work too late, try again tonite, but is is a solid version of what Pighead showed us, mounts zactly the same...

Lamb, no worries on the pictures. This will probably be a month or so in the planning



It is either "want to try harder" or say "screw it, take it to FC with a vague idea to let him work his magic."

who says money can't make ya happy
