I was looking for a nice battery tray for my second Yellow Top Optima, and wow, they're kinda pricey for a nice aluminum one....

Looks like they could be fun to make though!

Badidpowdercoat:

What did you do in 100 Mile before getting laid off?, lived their until the early 80's and moved out. Still a nice place to visit.

Bryan, Ive lived there pretty much all my life. Im an Electrician by trade. I used to do Sawmill construction all over BC/Alta, but then was into mainteneance. Was working at West Fraser Lumber in 100 Mile, till we had a difference of opinion. That was last year. Been at the Mine here in NWT ever since. 3 weeks on 3 weeks off, Pretty good gig

They allready make those, they are called Crow's Feet. Wouldn't be cost effective to cut up a wrench. And I have no way of forging to make my own.
