The area is a bit on the flimsy side and I just wanted to be sure before doing it that it was OK. It seems a bit late to ask since I've already ripped off the metal piece that protrudes in the center to mount the spare, but guess better late then never. *PERFORMANCE PARTS for the TOUR* click here:PXRACING Homepage** email:pxracing@aol.com

If it can keep the spare tire/jack from moving around under hard cornering, a battery will be no problem. Just be careful not to drill through the box underneath. I forget what it is/does, but it's something to do with the fuel system. 2000 Contour SE 2.5L ATX - Toreador Red 2001 VW Golf GLS 2.0L MTX - Tornado Red Buy my possessed VCR!!

Been there 4 yrs with no problems. Just a Plain SE. AKA Big Country I maybe path914's B** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B** then!

That is the way I did mine too, that is the best way possible, IMO. -Jeff- 1998 Black SVT Morette Twin headlight conversion Street flight turbo kit collecting dust! Rebuilding my 3.0L check it out
