What do you call this battery box and where can I get another?
I’m interested in adding a second battery to my van. I’d like to reproduce the existing setup from the passenger rear corner on the drivers’s side rear. The existing battery is a group 27 in a fiberglass box. The box appears to have flanges that support it after dropping in the hole cut in the van floor. I kind of like the battery access from the inside for security and protecting the battery from the road salt.
I’ve searched all over google for fiberglass boxes and the only similar boxes I can find are used for European race cars. I found UK and German sites with something similar, but as you can imagine the cost+shipping is too much. Where the heck did SMB get these originally? Any idea where I can get one now? Is there a modern/better way to box a second battery? Thanks in advance.
