#1: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:03 pm ---- ive made a new battey box, which is currently getting sprayed up but when removing the old standard box i relised there was a plastic air feed pipe going into it!!!! anyone know what its for!!
#3: Re: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:18 pm ---- that needed lol!to late to get my box back from the sprayers!!
#5: Re: battery box question Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:55 pm ---- What does that box do that the original can't?
#6: Re: battery box question Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:03 pm ---- Its probably to allow any water that gets inside to drain out. Although I have fed wires through mine.
#7: Re: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:07 pm ---- box will just look better than the orginal one when its sprayed up!! having engine cover done at the same time
if its for water i will drill a drainage hole in the bottom!
#8: Re: battery box question Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:16 pm ---- Why would water get inside the battery box? The pipe is there to cool the battery.
Is it a good idea to put the battery inside a metal box?
Is it a good idea to put the battery inside a metal box?
Not if the car rolls-over, (touch wood).
Might be good to put some insulating material to the inside of the top-lid.
unless the road is total flat otherwise you will need some insulator or strap to stop the battery from moving...
#11: Re: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:29 am ---- All over that issue!! its got plastic all round to ensure no sparks occour and the top has been drilled and tapped to hold the battery in place!
#12: Re: battery box question Author: 138Andy, Location: NottsPosted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 1:22 pm ---- surely that box would weigh considerably more than the original ? i just got my plastic one sprayed met black and it looks nice :/
#13: Re: battery box question Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 1:47 pm ---- It's a cooling pipe .... batteries do get warm and in a metal box, it's liable to get a lot warmer ...
#14: Re: battery box question Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 2:30 pm ---- Seems a bit of a chocolate teapot idea. Doesn't do anything the original can't and can't see it looking better either.

Welding looks p**s poor too.
#17: Re: battery box question Author: Reflekt., Location: South WalesPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:46 am ---- If youve got the materials and tools to make something like this then its a tidy mod! A nice personal touch for the engine bay IMO.

Dont put photos on if your not going to take criticism.
#21: Re: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:17 am ---- p**s poor and looks s**t just sounds a little strong for criticism i think!
think others may agree!

Well that is peoples own personal opinion you shouldnt put photos on if you cant take what they think...
#23: Re: battery box question Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:22 am ---- I agree, the welds look a bit too rough and lumpy. But hey, what do I know.
Also, I would never be going near your engine bay. f*** that for the giggles.
It's your engine bay, do what you want. If you don't like critics, harsh or soft, don't post anything.

Welding looks p**s poor too." is a bit too harsh when all that needed to be said was something a little less harsher. I know he has worked hard on it but those welds you aint going to see anyway as thats the base and not the top
#26: Re: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:25 pm ---- dont worry about it bro! can c these pug 206 owners arnt a friendly bunch! c what happens when we go for a meet!! maybe when people c things finished in the engine bay they might apperiate the work ive put in!

#32: Re: battery box question Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 2:14 pm ---- think he's actually asking what people think of the battery box in that thread and finding out what the red cable/wire that feeds into the battery cover is in this thread.

So whats the point in the photo ? and actually this thread is to find out about the air feed to the box
#34: Re: battery box question Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 2:24 pm ---- not sure why he put the photo up mate, have told him to be careful with what he says and how he says it

its cool just dont want him thinking the whole websites against him lol
#36: Re: battery box question Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 2:35 pm ---- neither do i mate because he's my brother lol
#37: Re: battery box question Author: ab16, Location: northern irelandPosted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 2:37 pm ---- no need to argue about it, I think the box could look well with other aluminium bits. Aluminium is very hard to weld but can be tidied up well to give a nice finish.
if u fancy welding 1mm alu lee you go ahead all welds were sanded off.
im a weldder fabricator by trade so think i know what im doing.
judge it when its finished yea
I can't weld, never claimed I could. But I know for a fact I could get someone to do a lot better job
