TI battery placement

[Shawn Piper]

Im trying to figure out how to modify the battery tray to accommodate the TI air cleaner that I bought.  Does anyone have pictures of the TI battery tray that I could use as reference?

I don't have a picture, but it fits lower 2 to3 " off the frame rail  than the standard tray 4-5" off the rail just like the tii tray.

Do you know if its the same tray as the regular 02s or is it a different design?

Shawn,

 

There’s a good thread on battery trays. The challenge is to find it!

 

If I recall correctly — and that’s always a bit dodgy — I believe a ti battery tray is the same as the round taillight tii battery tray, both lower and a bit smaller than the carbed cars’ battery tray (Type 26R versus the carbed cars’ Type 47).

 

A ti’s airbox, however, seems appreciably larger than a tii’s airbox. Could the battery tray be even lower than a tii’s? I wish I could find that battery tray thread!

 

Below, the gorgeous Colorado engine bay is Dirk de Groen’s ‘70 ti. The... other engine bay is my ‘73 tii. ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Hmm. On my car, the battery tray bolts to the body. My goal is to use the existing mounting holes for the battery tray so my mods are reversible. 

 

I guess if the battery tray is the same but the mounting point is different, then I could buy a spare tray and modify it to use my existing mounting points. If a TI tray was a different design and used the same mounting holes as other cars, I was hoping to find one and use that instead.

Real oem lists this same tray as fitting both the ti and the tii
