Battery box made today
That is certainly, er, robust

It's got to have a 7kg battery hanging off it
The brackets have got to be chopped down yet also I will lighten it all up by cutting some holes in the alloy box, I want to keep it solid until its mounted.
Hopefully I will have all the sub frame braced and welded up tomorrow then I can push on with the fibre glass seat base. I've been on to Tony Archer today he's going to make the seat up.

Those studs look extremely close to the uprights - almost as though the nuts won't go on but by all means tell me it's an illusion? Even if they do will they sit flat, considering you have a radius in the angle too ?

I've drilled and tapped the brackets so they don't need nuts i don't want to be fiddling around trying to locate them....and yes they are close

Support bracket made and clamped in position ready for welding
Rear bracket of the battery box mount cut down, I will leave the front one until I've worked the angle out
