I wasn't aware that two ifs constituted an obliqueness. If that's true, my entire life is one of never being other than oblique.That was my obliquely stated point.

That was my obliquely stated point. It can’t be covered and the little spring has to have enough extension to reach the bottom of the battery, so anything inside the battery tray has to permit that. I’m going to countersink my bolts so they are as flat with the bottom as possible so the battery is as far down in the tray as possible.
Yeah, Genright designed that thing around the Optima, which I ran for quite a while. The Odyssey is bigger all around.
I considered modifying the tray, but this was a lot easier.
Picked up a fusible link for the new battery cables as per @jjvw build thread. It’s supposed to be 4 gauges smaller than your main wiring. Since I’m going to 4awg the link is 8awg. This will be my weak link to protect the main electrical system.

Here's my batty tray I made work with countersunk holes for the screws & cut out the hole for the battery temperature sensor.

And if you need a fusible link for l a battery cables I happen to have one... I'd bought it before I 'd remembered I didn't need it with the PPW setup.
I'm not going to let you dilute the meanings of words by perverting their usage. This is a conical bolt. I don't think this is what you had in mind.Looks clean. I have some conical bolts coming today
You should just ask for some assistance. If you are talking about trying to use flat head screws in a countersink in the bottom of the battery tray, then that is stupid easy. All you have to do is stick undercut flat heads in accurate countersinks and the problem is solved. If my guessing is inaccurate, then apologies are in order. It is much easier if I don't have to guess.so I can see if I have enough material to countersink.
The frame nutsert plates exist solely to prevent the skid from being bent up between the nutserts.Wouldn’t I have to add a thin plate of steel on top of the battery bracket with holes cut out for the nutserts to duplicate that method? Assuming you are talking about the underside of the frame rails. The four spacer pieces and the lower C’s keep the belly skid mounted solid rather than solely against the lower C’s and on the face of the nutserts.
Good! My vocabulary is weak in this area. I have to learn somehow.I'm not going to let you dilute the meanings of words by perverting their usage. This is a conical bolt.
Are you trying to say that you enlarged the 1/4" holes to 5/16"?Good! My vocabulary is weak in this area. I have to learn somehow.
I have already drilled out 5/16” hole through the battery tray for 1/4” bolts to pass through and I think the material is only 1/8” thick, so the material thickness is my main concern.

No, if I wanted to say I enlarged them I would have said that. I said, “I have already drilled out a 5/16” hole for a 1/4” bolt to pass through…” It expresses the current status of the holes based on a past action. That is exactly what the words mean. Nothing more. Nothing less.
What did you drill out the 5/16" hole to?![]()

I drilled a 5/16" hole= it is 5/16"
I drilled out a 5/16" hole= you took a 5/16" hole and drilled it larger.
I'm no engrish teacher,but to me that is how it reads
