The tolerances for the rear battery box were quite tight so a mere change in 1/8" between the passenger and trunk walls would have caused problems with the box and lid fitting. The left side seemed to fit much better than the right side, so perhaps the vehicle has "sagged" or got into a minor accident.<BR/> I found the quickest way around the problem was to use a long lever to carefully bend the rear trunk wall rearward along it entire length to free up space.<BR/> Have fun with your conversion!TimKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059780797709299125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270124316233555550.post-36279254223902326902007-07-28T20:32:00.000-07:002007-07-28T20:32:00.000-07:00Hey Tim, Do you think the rear battery top not fit...Hey Tim, Do you think the rear battery top not fitting may be because the battery rack was installed to high? The instructions don't give a height when drilling the rack to the support arms. I know you had trouble getting the second half of the battery box in. Just seeing if I can try something different to improve the problem. Mattonei57https://www.blogger.com/profile/04174611837994461555noreply@blogger.com
