Re: Battery Boxes

[Daniel White <danwhite@means.net>]

That sounds ok but what might the alternatives be in 
getting the battery box/s firmly anchored to the vehicle
chassis. Seems like I would first need a angle iron or
some type of framework into which I could place the box/s
am I on the right track? My old EV had metal boxes
welded into the unibody structure of the car in the rear
and the front batteries merely rested on bare angle iron
held in place by "J" bolts and brackets above the batts.
