Replacement battery tray source

[AlfaNeely@domain.elided]

       The first time I did a tech inspection of AROC President and long time 
friend John Justus' 71 GTV, I was a bit perplexed.  His radiator overflow was 
routed into the battery!  Plus the windshield washers also seemed to be 
plumbed with battery acid.
       Turns out the real battery was in the trunk.  The battery holder under 
the hood was filled with an empty case battery John got from a battery 
manufacturer with no plates inside.  Then he used the various compartments 
for various purposes.

Ciao,
