ford gpa g504

Hi, I've installed my battery trays and the main support brackets. However, I don't see how the trays are attached to the support arms.
I've spotted a small additional bracket that seems to support the forward edge of the battery tray and I've posted a photo of this piece on the G503 amphibious forum. ( I don't know how to post a photo on this forum from my computer.)

Does anyone have a photo of this small bracket highlighted with a red arrow, and any photos of the bolt through locations to anchor the battery trays?
Are the trays supposed to be spot welded to the support arms?

Thanks in advance, David

Hi David,

The brackets are bolted to the vertical support with two bolts and nuts.
Also a bolt direct on the frame with one bolt.
So on one bracket : 2 bolts washers and nuts
2 bolts with washers
1 bolt in the frame with washer




hope this helps
Bob

Thanks Bob! That explains it perfectly!

Best Regards David

Are the battery trays welded to the brackets?

David

yes they are, the unit is one part like the pictures.

Thanks Bob, that explains why I didn't see an attachment point for the tray and brackets. I bought repro trays and brackets from Dean a number of years ago and the parts were not welded together.

Thanks again David
