Thanks missed those, he adds stuff all the time hard to keep track.

Now if we can get dimensions or drawings for the battery tray.

They are in there as well. Look closely at the aft battery box sub-album.

There's two more views there!

took a bit to find that

anyways wrong part, I need this one.

I looked through the underhood box album as well. I do have a cj2a tray to start from assuming it is close but I know it is taller at the least.

The trays i linked go inside each box. What you have now ID'd is the support. The 2A can be adapted but must be shortened if you intend to use the underhood battery box. This has been discussed here way back and someone gave the height difference between the two.

I re-organized the Battery support illustrations and pre-marked them for dimensions. I won't be able to get to my jeep for a few days so if no one else comes forward with the dimensions I'll try to get them.

The new illustrations are at: http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules. ... php&page=4 The full size views can be viewed there:

We just need someone to copy this list, add their numbers and repost it.

Thank you Wes. And sorry about that Dan, didn't mean to hijack this.

I took a look at the CJ2A support and there are several subtle differences. The basic height of the battery seating deck from the frame rail is 3 5/8" at the rear and 2 1/8" at the front. The over length of the seating area for the battery is 12 1/2".

Thanks Wes, I will try to get a look at mine, I cut it loose from a dead frame. See how it measures out.

Put the tape measure to what I have, the deck is 12.5" front to back(z) and 7.5" wide(T). The front has two legs, one went to a rivet and is 2" the other was welded to the crossmember and is 3" the rear leg is 4". Hopefully that all makes sense.
