Added the last majjor component to the firewall; the battery box. I built it according to the plans for use with the Odyssey PC625 drycell battery. I did modify it slightly by adding a 1/8" angle to the bottom to stiffen the firewall as well as the box. The battery weighs about 16 pounds so I just wanted a little more piece of mind than .032 sheet metal.
Simple layout on .032 sheet.
Angle in place. This will be flush riveted to the box.
Mounted in place. The hold down strap will be riveted on after the battery is installed.
