Leo B Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi, Please help to understand how to install Battery Box Reinforcement. Part #800077 from SI. Fits 1963 . I have turnet it around and around, up and down to find where to install Reinforcement. SI dont have quide how to install the part. In the webshop is said "fits under fender well". I dont find the place. Has somebody used this part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Yes it does fit in the wheel well. The foot part ( flat section where the right angle is ) goes under the battery tray area and you sort of push it around a bit until it sort of fits the best somewhere around the middle of the battery box. In your photo the brace is upside down so roll it over and place the rhs of the brace under the battery box. It won't fit perfectly and you do have to use a little bit of licence when installing it. It needs to be riveted in place with some adhesive inbetween the brace and the inner fender. I hope that helps or someone will post a photo. pb Edited December 31, 2021 by 1963r2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo B Posted December 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi, Thank you 1963r2. Still I dont understand. Maybe Im really looking wrong place or my brains are too old 😆 Is this the area where to install the part? Under Battery? Does not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) Looks like you already have one installed . You now have a spare I guess. The brace is that section that runs from the bottom of the inner fender towards the top of the fender ie vertical . In your photo it is above the hole in the chassis heading upwards. I see why you were having problems trying to fit it. Have fun. Peter Edited January 1, 2022 by 1963r2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo B Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 🤣 Now I understand why it was so difficult to find a place for the Batter Box Reinforcement. Maybe been there from the factory like SI (part seller) wrote. I have a crack in Battery Box but will fix that other way. Thank you 1963r2. This was a big help👍 Have a nice new year!
