Fw: RE: Trunk Mounted Battery Question

[snappy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The trunk section raises so depending on where you position the plate you can
get it almost level and use just a couple of shims for support. Its pretty
simple - just make sure when you drill the holes you dont put them into the
chassis rail or it makes it kinda hard to get a nut on :)

Thanks,

The stainless steel plate gave support for the battery box, then did you 
shim up the front of the box and plate to get it lever?

Thanks
