    I got mine for 30 bucks.. your dealer must suck.. unless you had a shop install it. They are very very simple to replace.

      Anyone have any ideas for a battery tie down for a f-body with a broken tray...

      lets try to keep ropes and bungees out fo this.

          I zip-tied it for now. Good enough for me. I looked at a replacement tray but the ones we sell won't work due the to overflow hose.

          Stupid dealer only parts.

            Yup, car went in for annual inspection and they wouldn't pass it with the cracked tray since it had leaked coolant from the resevoir. So it was either pay $75 to have them replace it (labor + part) or pay the $22 for the failed inspection, replace the part myself, then take it back and pay $22 again to get it to pass.
