Loose battery improvments

[BobbyZ72]

Ok, ever since i bought this car i hated how the battery would just wobble around, and how i could not visually check my coolant. Well i took care of all of that today. I have some pics here you can view. My battery is now solid as a rock and not going anywhere. The cheap coolant tank you see is fixing to be replaced with a clear gas tank i ordered which is about the same size, but i think it will fit even better. Oh and yes that is green antifreeze in a 1997! [img]graemlins/banana.gif[/img] Im really happy with the way this project went. pics are here >>> http://spaces.msn.com/members/Bobbyz...&_c=PhotoAlbum

im sure it would just break again, im the type of person if some thing breaks once or if i think its a bad set up i dont support the people that engineered it and buy another. plus i want to see my coolant

Its pricey, and a ***** to replace...

for 98+ camaro guys I made a strap from the factory bolt hole for the little "block" all the way to the headlight bracket

looks good / great idea, and I like the fact you can see the overflow tube and the amount in the canister without pulling the dipstick ... thanks man, you just gave me a new project.

Thanks, just be careful not to damage any wires with the sharp edges of the freshly cut metal, thats why some of the metal pieces look long and some look short. I looks kinda like a little kid built it looking at the pics, but each one is cut and installed just where i wanted them to be.
