The trunk battery rack is quite simple with two 1.5" angle iron and two 1.5" square tubing. Tim's instructions describe where to drill the holes to bolt down the square tubing. First I cut two 18" long square tubing for each side and put 3/8" bolts 2.5" long through the tubing into the car. These are capped off with nylock nuts and lock washers.
This is the drivers side support.
Passengers side support.
Both supports.
Next was to cut the angle iron to span across the tubing, one next to the rear seats in the back end of the trunk and the other towards the other end (rear of the car). The spacing between the angle iron is the length of the batteries. I only bolted the forward angle iron (near rear seats) and will wait to attach the rear piece once I have selected the batteries.
