I just joined this forum today and thought I'd say hello. I'm new to the Modded Mustang forum but not new to Mustangs. Been in the Mustang world for 10 years now so in that time I'm by no means a novice. Owned my own 03 GT since it was new in November of 02 and never wanted to trade it or even get a newer one. See alot of mustang guys go from mustang to mustang, etc. Even when the 05's came out people left. I consider the 99-04 guys a league of there own anyway. I'm just jibber jabbing now. Mods are in signature.

My question was. I'm Need a battery mount,tray, something for optima yellow

Hey all. I have a 34/78 Optima yellow in my 03 GT. And having issues now with it moving around. Because of moving purposes, etc I don't have the factory battery tray or the little extension things that came with the optima, they are lost now. So I basically had a ghetto rig in there until I have time to do it right. Unfortunately when it moved I ripped 2 of my aftermarker ground wires I added with a high quality 4 gauges wire. 1 wire ran from alternator bracket to factory ground on frame in front of driver side headlight. The other was from battery ground to chassis ground. Which in return cause an issue that fried both my headlight connector plugs when the grounds came off.

All in all. I need to order some kind of battery tray, battery mount, battery tie down. Anything like that, thats not expensive. Not all of the 3 I mentioned but something to keep my battery steardy. All I've been finding online is expensive billet things or stuff not sized for the 34/78 batteries. Or even if theres a how to/write up kinda article on making one. Rather have plastic or something non expensive in material. I'm on tight budget right now. Had a ton of bad luck the last month with the car. Horrible exhaust leak at both exhaust flanges, 2 ruined upstream o2 sensors. 2 vacuum leaks in PCV to Plenum hose, leaky air intake because my Roush one caved in at the clamps, failed emissions, 2 tickets because of expired tags because of failed emissions, and to top it all off. Same day I failed emissions, I saw a bent left front fr500 wheel on my car and after a walk around found a knot on my right rear tire (bfg kwd 2)

So I've spent a fortune on this car this past 3 weeks and the car isn't but a tad quicker,

Thanks
Josh

what i did on my car was took a nice strap, bolted it underneath the battery tray then ran it above the battery and mounted it to the body to hold the battery down tightly. worked for me and was free so cant beat that.

what is your battery sitting on? if its in the trey with out anything holding it down just get a strap and strap it down. its legal to have it that way

No, I don't have a battery tray. I haven't re-read my post but I thought I mentioned that. Its just sitting there. Had a ghetto rig thing that didn't work to well. So I have nothing. I was moving out of the place I was in the same timeframe I installed the optima. My battery was dead dead and had to throw it in as this is my daily driver.

if you already have a dry cell i would look into a trunk mount kit.
