Lightweight battery install
Well, I did some research and came up with what is pictured here. Battery is a Deka EXT20L from East Penn Manufacturing which is also labeled as Big Crank, another which I shall not name and more. Cost for this model (15lb) was 69.95 shipped. Procured the tray (aluminum), modified it somewhat and secured it to the factory tray using one of the trays original bolts and added 1 grade 8 hex bolt/nut & washer. Fabbed the cross bar hold down out of aluminum stock and managed to find a suitable means to secure my stock hood prop. Final addition will be to wire for plug in Battery tender.
Update: No need to wire for tender. Our lighter plug is hot with key off so a plug in adapter for the Battery Tender is on its way. Bingo
