1175 Battery Box finished

Not painted in the pictures, but I bed spray on bed linered the frame work and box, and left the cover as it was. Extremely solid, no give at all with me sitting on it. Take one bolt out and the battery box still swings out if you want.

Nice work. Now you need to build a set of steps for that side that still allows you to swing out the battery tray.

Really nice. Did you check to make sure the front axle support rod does not hit the battery box support when oscillating through ditches?

Ya, I like the swing out feature.

Well done! Would you send those pics to some of the golf cart manufacturers? They could use some tips.

There is about 3-4 inches of clearance, if this were a bigger/later model that had the stronger front axle setup it might be an issue, but with the stock axle there is plenty of room. If you had a heavier front for a loader, just making an angle cut to taper the plate would solve that issue.
