Veranish

Hey folks, I recently changed out my battery for the first time since owning this car, (88 vert), and I found out that three of the four mounting points are rusted through and not doing anything. Those three are the ones that are like upwards facing screws into the plastic battery tray.

They appear to be mounted like directly into the frame (part of the frame) The rust has broken parts of the thread, and I can't get washers on them. What are my options here?

Can get pictures if necessary, it's just kind of a hard spot to get light and a camera into.

i moved my battery to the bin behind the drivers side. I havent had a vert fc in a long time so i dont remember if it has space like that. Maybe relocate it to the trunk?

Verts have the bins. At least mine does.

Also, used a closed cell battery if you bring it in the cabin with you. Otherwise you get the battery fumes in the cabin with you. Makes your eyes burn, not to mention the fumes are hazardous and possibly explosive.
