Different battery box for driver side?

Is there a different battery box or better battery holder for the driver side without all the air filter housing stuff. I had an AFE Big boost filter and when I modified the stock battery box it still had the bottom section of the air filter compartment well after about 4-5 years I was cleaning the filter today and there was a hole rubbed in the filter from moving around and the pre filter is getting holes wore through it. So I cut the air box part off so now the filter will sit on the fiberglass stuff on the fender well. I ordered a couple of the new Blue Donaldsons from RiffRaff to replace the Big Boost filter. The modified filter box looks kinda like a hack job because all I had was a cut off wheel and the plastic got hot and now I have melted buggers all over it. I thought I saw somethin a long time ago about a battery holder out of a van that was just the bottom plate but can't find it anywhere now.

I have wondered the same thing. Hopefully there is one like the passenger side that will work.

So if anyone is running the Ford AIS kit is there a part number on the battery box someplace? Metz22 I just emailed Clay because I see he sells the AIS kit so hopefully he will give me a part number for the tray.

You can take a file and knock the edges down pretty easy. If you cut a fairly straight line it will dress up nice and clean

I took a rotary tool to mine and modified it to fit my 6637.

Figure the price of buying a dremel tool or $55 for the new battery box I just ordered the new battery tray others might have better luck but all I had was a grinder with a cut off wheel and it's pretty buggered up already so if anyone wants to just buy a new battery tray and save the factory air box that part number is an option I will post a pic when I recieve it and install it.
