Piranha battery tray #BTSV for EFI Vitara
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2008 3:37 pm
Hi all. Got one of these battery trays in for my 93 1.6L efi vit. Just wanting to check about fitment before i start drilling holes.
I plan to re-position the rad overflow somewhere else and...
Fit the tray in so that it is nearly up against the intake pipe where it goes through under the guard.
Drill two holes in the side wall of the engine bay in front of the shock tower
put two holes in the wheel arch and one hole in the lip that runs across the fire wall. I will replace the bolts with new HT's as per a previous post.
One question i have is would i be better off to have the bolt heads under the wheel arch with the thread poking into the engine bay to prevent tyre damage on the thread?
If anyone has pics of this tray installed in an EFI Vit I would love to have a look. The pic on the piranha website is rubbish and is a carbed vit anyway.
The lip running across the firewall doesn’t have much space to play with so a close up of that fitting would be nice.
Lastly has any one found an different wiper motor or modified the plug to allow a full size battery to be installed?
Many Thanks
