I'm looking for a battery tray I can use on the ledge in the trunk. I am trying to find one that uses a pinch clamp like the stock ones in the engine compartment but I've come up empty. Any of you know where I can find one or if they even exist. Thanks..... :)

Why not use a stock one for the rear mount?

I did think of that but I want a flat bottom.....I guess I could cut it and weld a flat plate to it...

found what I need, comes from a 1999 to 2006 GMC trucks.....I just have to trim off the part circled in read and touch up the bare edge. I will be starting a thread about how to blend the touch up so it will be the same color and texture as the rest of the tray.

IMO for a trunk mount application I would want a bracket going over the top of the battery and then secured to the tray rather than a pinch clamp on one edge.

Thanks for your suggestion, It's a dry cell and the back edge is held in place with a lip so I don't think I'll have any issues. It'll be better than what I have now and it stays in place
