while loosening my battery from tray (long bolts on either side) one of the bolts broke the plastic battery tray before the nut would give. (was barely pushing.. brittle plastic)
the ring on the plastic tray is now broken making the bolt useless and battery is not really tied down anymore. does anyone have a fix for this? i would like to avoid going to the dealer if possible, are there after market replacements? (higher quality); does anyone know how much a new dealer tray & tie down bolts might cost?
it is a cheap looking plastic part so someone else must have had this problem.
in the mean time, am i in immediate danger if my battery is not securely tied down? i could see a problem if i flip upside down or high speed jumping but those things really aren't in the plans.
thanks
