Single Battery Tray Upgrade

Yo! Easy enough I know to modify that ridiculous knuckle busting OEM batt. tray- but who has a bulletproof application I can steal!

I built one out of steel angle and plate that holds 2 Optimas in my '92 F350. It was easy and cheap! I don't remember busting my knuckles taking the old one out though...

OOps! let me restate the mod... So, what can I do with the OEM tray to make an easier battery swap? Top bracket addition?

Ah... what I use is a webbing tiedown strap. Real easy to swap batteries, no tools required

Yah mon !! I have spare not being used on my flatsboat.. I'll cut her down to size.
Are the Optimas worth the extra coin?
