Does anyone have a pic of an XU1 battery tray support bracket?

I've googled all the threads here but lots of pics are missing.

I reckon I've read somewhere along the line that they are different to the standard bracket?

Makes sense to me as the return lip on a standard bracket would be facing the wrong way for the narrower XU1 tray?

Do you mean battery clamp Rodomo

So basically just flat? Looks like its all square to the guard and rail? Correct?

Here you go.

 

The vertical plate is spot welded to the carrier, and yes, that daggy arc welding on the chassis rail is original.

the gmh guys had very bad welding skills
i had to put new tray into chateau and i asked the guy to weld it in left handed to get the GMH look!!

[grumpy xu1]

Gmh "mig" welded on toranas guy's. The stitch welds are around 1" long, spot welds up the top as Baz said. & yes flat steel, basically follows the contour of the rail, pm me if you need measurements. Gary.

[Bazza]

I think I have already included the support measurements.

Confused Bazza

Any differences from LC to LJ? Any differences between the Brisbane and Adelaide factories? I did overhear a conversation at the Toranafest show'n'shine suggesting they were different.

 

Merry Xmas all.

LC XU1 battery tray was mounted 1" further back than LJ XU1.

Thanks Gary and Dave.

[grumpy xu1]

Thanks Gary and Dave.

The welding is different from the 2 plants, i can't see pics atm unfortunately, so i couldn't say, but if it's from Bazza's car then it would be Adelaide built.
