And here it is... excuse the dusty engine bay, needs a detailin' soon.

Two points to mention, I am quite sure this is due to small differences between the USDM and Thai Yaris:

1) the tab at the back is too wide to go in the hole on the stock battery holder thing behind the battery... I had to widen that hole to get it to fit.

2) Look at the third picture, it's a very very tight fit, I had to slightly unscrew those caps in order to align them. Then again USDM Yarii have different stock batteries, so keep this in mind if you changed yours.

Apart from that, it look F'ing goooooood :thumbup:

Hmmm I also just notices after looking at Chris07LB's pics again, my bttery does not look as deep, so the front of the holddown overhangs quite a bit... no biggie!

I'm glad you got it to work eTiMaGo. I didn't even think about that... that there could be a different battery in there!

By the way, yeah nice photoshop. The color is really close to actual! Did you get it from the other thread? :D

Mine broke :( The tab that hooks to the back piece snapped off, though I did abuse it quite a bit... Ah well!

eTiMaGo unlucky ay these things look real good

Oh it is a very nice piece! Just the the limited access due to the strut bar, and the bad fitment with our OEM batteries caused the back tab to take a lot of strain :frown:

hmm worth getting ???
eTiMaGo
04-06-2010, 01:18 PM
well it serves no real function but to look good, it's a little lighter than the OEM part, so if that's what you are after...

Hey guys,

Long time no talk.

A few months ago I was in an accident and insurance wrote off our 2005 Echo Hatchback... :(

Looking at a newer Yaris for replacement in the near future!

Anyways, I have 4 of these clamps left, and I'm closing up my shop as I'm entering a life of service. Can't take these things with me while I get posted all over the country.

3 of them are bare aluminum -$30 shipped
1 is black anodized - $35 shipped

Please email me if you'd like one: joel(at)ellisprecision.ca

Thank you,

Joel
