Mini Battery Tray

So I was looking into getting a new mini battery for my car. Why? Because a battery relocation kit is costly (at least $200 to $300 for the kit and installation by a professional) it's great however I don't feel that I should spend that much on a relocation kit which doesn't reduce weight but in fact it actually adds weight. Most mini battery kits cost upwards of $150 (at the time when I was looking), therefore I decided to make my own.

After much searching I ordered my Deka ETX14 and I thought it was a great battery once installed. I had to cut my stock battery tray and remount the tie rods and it worked fine for a while but I wanted something more. Then I made this one: . This is how the tray looks out of the car with the battery and tray together.
For only $50 I've made this custom tray out of steel and fits very well in the car and also adds a mount for my Greddy Oil Catch Can 150ml.
