well not sure if you know but my design is super crazy sturdy so its worth the 1lb weight it adds. Its a cradle for battery to sit inside. Then I use the stock tie bar which is light to hold it down. It will not move in any horizontal or vertical direction. Pushing or pulling on it just moves the car instead. Had a nasty situation about 10 years ago where my pc680 came loose and shorted out bad on the firewall sparking and shutting everything down.


Anyway just want to remake the design with aluminum instead of steel with stuff I can grab at home depot.


This was how it looked before I cut the sides down
