Anyone know if the Odyssey PC925 battery fit into the rear bins without cutting it up? Pictures?
Probably not the safest of options to just have it sit in there. But if its in there snug, I would much rather have two small holes for the wires instead of a completely missing bottom to the bin...

Just finished my custom battery "tray" (Fighters Garage style) to use with my Deka ETX-20L battery (15lbs 270cca). The "tray" is just some hacked up L-braces that came with off of a industrial shelving unit at my shop. The tray is really just a brace the squeezes the battery against the chassis. Then I modified/cut one of the two L supports on the OE tie down so that it wouldn't interfere with the positive terminal. I can post more detailed pics of this simple design if people want.
I don't think it is better than the Hawker Odyssey 680, but the price is right. They run ~$75 and can be had online OR Wal-Mart carries rebadged Deka ETX-20L.

Here's the thread with more information on the battery I'm running, and where I mounted it. Post 22 is where the battery information starts and post 31 is where the battery pics start.

As for the AI tank unless you really want to go with aluminum, USplastics.com has the best prices on polypropylene tanks in different sizes. They are very robust too. I use mine on my mechanical preturbo water injection which requires the tank be fully pressurized to 25 psi on a regular basis.

i have a stinger p680, i have 0 problems with it. got a nifty prefabbed aluminum tie down plate for it. 6 bolts hold this ****** down, it doesnt move.
heres the battery
and heres the tie down
i also put a piece of 3/8" thick rubber mat between the battery and the metal
ill tell you what, after welding the nuts to the metal part of the bin supports, its rock solid, and looks sooo good. i wish i had pics though........

I'm still on my first pc680 battery (2-3 years?). My FD mostly sees the track, so it can sit for weeks at a time. Between rides, I just disconnect it and put it on a slow charger. On a good charge, I can restart the car days later if I leave it hooked up.
However, if I were daily driving the FD, I would keep a jump kit in the car. Just in case.
