Jim, Thanks for the pic's of that. I was able to duplicate the appearance of the spot welds using 1/4" rosette welds when replacing the plate. Looking at those spotwelds I did a good job in hindsight although I questioned myself at the time. The worst part was making the bottom plate look correct as there was only one style made at that time. Thankfully the vendors make all 3 versions of the plate now.

Mine doesn't have the brackets up top to hold the battery down. When I bought a new one they only had the one version. My original is corroded badly otherwise I would have cleaned it up and used it. Now that I have a decent welding machine maybe I can take care of that.
What is the difference in the plate for a 28 and 29? Mine has the one hole, but the ears on the bracket are cast like Jim's.Last edited by Dennis; 09-06-2017, 01:16 AM.

Not trying to hijack your thread, and please move it if need be Mitch. Does this look correct for a 2/29 assembly in LA? This is what was on my car when I got it. I noticed Bert's has a part number for each of the 3 plates, but the pictures all look the same.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

The first style battery box, I believe, has an integral stud...part of the forging, and the second has a removable stud. Isn't this correct? The rosettes are real interesting,..I have spot welds on
my original off my 9-28 car.
My main comment or concern is the plate, are the side straight or are the "puckered".. concave.., from the pressing of the trough in the center of the plate?

Jim,
NOS 28 battery box that I have. The bottom plate is spot welded in four areas on each side of the strap. One hole. Any comments welcome Jim SinclairYou do not have permission to view this gallery.

I guess I need to call A&L next for some 2nd version studs. I found a decent bracket at a swap meet recently minus studs. They have a tit on the side where they go through the hole to keep the stud from turning I assume. Or do I have a 3rd version. It has a single drain hole in the middle.
