Brief Description:  Starter relay bracket fabrication and fitting

Needed to get the starter relay mounted further away from engine mount than waht I had with stock install.
I first drilled out the platenut rivits that held the starter relay to battery mount.
Fabricated a new mount from bar stock that I can use to rase the relay slightly

Original plan was to rivit this new bracket on to the battery tray and then realized this wouldnt work because it blocked the battery from tilting forward enough to pull out. New plan, Install bracket with bolts and plate nuts

Reinstall the plate nuts with rivits and secured b racket with two 1/4 inch crews
marked two more hole locations using the relay bracket.
Drilled the two holes to /14 inch

The relay will be secured with crew and nylock nuts.

Battery will be removed by moving the new bracket if I cant get it out over it. The relay will also be removable from bracket if it need to be serviced or replaced.

Will paint the bracket and reinstall tomorrow
