Default 323Ti Hatch Battery

I posted some pics in my gallery of the battery in the hatch. I didn't have anything to measure with so I didn't remove the battery but I plan on doing that tomorrow.

Sorry no pics of the spare today. None of the tools came with the car and I thought it was just an allen wrench that fit into the crank in the back but I couldn't find one that would catch. I guess it's off to the dealership this weekend.

I've been thinking about putting my battery in the back, except in that pocket on the right (circled in red)

Exactly, just with an Odyssey instead of a dynabat.

Did you make that cover? Looks really clean.

Amazing work. So the tray alone won't work for the US models?

No, you need the sheet metal pan that has the shape and battery mounting tie down holes.

All these parts are detailed in the swap manual, if you happen to have a copy.

But, it is a weld-in conversion, and I’d only do it if you have collision or corrosion damage to deal with at the same time.
