While trying to secure the batteries in my Seattle daily drivers, I noticed that Festies have two different styles of battery trays. See attached photo (one in a car, one just sitting next to it for the photo). Note that the passenger-side mounting ear is different.
This means that the factory battery hold-down contraption requires with two "long" or one "long" and one "short" hook devices.
I also notice serious cracks in many of my battery trays, perhaps from not securing the batteries, allowing them to bounce around, impacting the trays more than they otherwise would.
So … questions:
1. Has anybody come up with a source for battery trays? Is 3D printing (which I'm not into) a solution here? I'm not sure what they're made from -- is it fiberglass?
2. Is there a source for the 3 parts (top gizmo + 2 "hooks") to secure batteries? Somebody with access to metalworking equipment could surely fabricate them, perhaps even from stainless so they won't rust and look ugly.
