+1 on the bracket. It's amazing how much a battery will shift after a hit.

 

What size brackets? Braille has a couple to choose from.

 

This is the one I used, the bottom tray is pre drilled for bolting it down.

Was actually looking at that before on the site before I got my battery but after seeing the price for it.... Yeaaaa

 

gotta pay to play!

 

98 bucks for it? Don't yøu think that is just a tad steep?

 

nah. After seeing what other brackets are...I think this is reasonable.

Other brackets are blah and not much cheaper...

 

I guess ill have to save up for that, maybe i can get a discount on it like i did with the battery. Looks like a nice piece tho

 

Just make your own dude, it doesn't take any fabricating skills, it's very easy and costs $10-$20 in parts.

If you want PM me and I'll give you some ideas on how to make one easily.

 

$100 is not bad given the quality and the custom battery fitment. I made mine from about $5 in parts but it took forever and looks like **** (fortunately, it is mostly hidden when installed).

 

Just curious for people who used j hooks, what length did you use?

 

12v 44Ah...fits perfectly in the rear bin.

Werker 12V 44AH AGM Battery W/ Female M6 Terminal - WKA12-44C/FR - Batteries Plus

 

witch battery (make) is that

 

It's a westco miata battery. Still alive and working like new too

 

nice clean job . how long cable you used ? and gauge

 

Odyssey PC925 fits fine in the rear bin when on its side. The only problem then is jump starting the car as there is not much room for jumper cable attachment but it's doable...

 

I also went with a westco mx-5 battery.

Super clean, Ceylon!

Sebasking, I used this 2 gauge "kit" http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1220a
Also used a 150amp circuit breaker

 

Same Miata battery but from Advanced, works like a champ!

 

Anyone have a link to the supply list. It seems the Stanford hosted site is no longer operational and like an idiot I didn't print it prior.

 

Google "ls1 rx7 battery" and you'll find it. The website is ls1fc or something like that but it's the correct guide. Currently using it.

 

Got it! Thank you!

Just curious, but at the track during inspection would they even look for the battery in the rear bin? If so would a tie down be sufficient or would they want a box. Just wondering since I want to test it out at Texas Motorplex.

 

So what're you guys doing with the stock negative battery cable?

 

Lookin good Ceylon. I'm doing something similar on my black car.....made my own battery box too haha.
