Battery Tray gone
After negotitating a rough stratch of road, I noticed my battery tray had completely rusted through and the battery is setting at an angle. A check of the LMC Bronco catalog and JBG's web site does not show a replacement battery tray available for my 19880 Bronco.
What can I do? My battery is completely unsupported and there is nowhere to anchor hold-downs for the battery.

Thanks for all the advice, guys. I do have an LMC catalog, but they do not have the battery tray for the '80 Bronco.

Wow..looks like sheet metal time. I searched all over and got the same results. Replacements for all but your year. Although there are generic trays you can bolt down to the fender after cutting out the old. Just may need some spacers to even it out so it sits level.
