Battery Box Fabrication
In order properly power all of the electronics for the audio/video system, we will be using 16 SVR 2000SP batteries. There will be 8 mounted on the drivers side in a custom fabricated battery box in the old footwell location and 8 mounted in a custom fabricated battery box on the passenger side in a re-worked factory original location.
Fabricating the battery boxes.
The original footwell location needed to be cut out.
The original bottom piece of the door jamb will be getting cut out and re-used in the new location of the shorter doors.
The bottom door jamb piece is welded into its' new location & the opening in the floor from the footwell was replaced with the same 3/16" steel plate that was used on the rest of the floor.
The opening of the new battery box will be framed in with 1 1/4" solid steel bar. The weight of the batteries will be around 800 lbs. so we needed to make sure it was strong enough to support that much weight.
The bottom of the battery box will be made from the same 1 1/4" solid steel bar as the frame & will have a 1/8" steel plate skin.
