My new battery tray
What do you think? Haven't seen one quite like it. Drawn on solidworks then machined on the cnc at work.

I would round off those sharp points a bit and you have a very nice tray. batteries tend to want to be different from one manufacture to another on the exact size and when they try to bounce you don't want to rub it with a point.
Looks great otherwise

I agree, it looks very nice but you should cut down those sharp corners. You don't want one of those sharp corners to puncture a battery in an impact.

Thanks its good to get positive feedback on something you created.
The base holds the battery in place the pointed covers only hold down.It only fits a gm optima battery.The bottom has blind tapped holes for mounting and has been shelled to lighten(a little).I have 3 extras if someone is really interested.Rich B.

I finally got pictures of the bottom. The six holes on bottom are for mounting.I will be using the two on the ends w/thru sleeves in the subframe(in the trunk). Thank you everyone for all the great comments! I will try to post more pictures of some of the other parts i have done.
