Battery sealing

[Steve Jones]

The screwed down plate under the seat separating the battery box from the cab area as David describes is the way most solve this problem. If you want belt and braces then stick some close cell draught excluder strip to the underside edges of the plate. In the longer term, though, unsealed lead/acid batteries don't have a real place in cars used for motor sport. Sealed and/or gel batteries are much safer. Even if spilled batttery acid is confined to the battery box area and doesn't reach the car's occupants, it's still got the potential to make a hell of a mess of your car.
