The King of Battery Boxes ?

...Since there's been a fair bit of talk about relocating batteries and battery boxes on the forum over time, I thought I'd post up pics of what I just bought - probably the Rolls Royce of sealed battery boxes made by Moroso.
You get everything you need to mount the box in your car, including a plastic hose to vent it, and grommets to seal the tubing and the battery cables through the box, plus soft rubber tubing to seal the lid onto the box, and it bolts the battery as well as the box itself to the floor. The plastic box itself is acid resistant, and it comes in a funky electric blue colour! Fully approved for racing by NHRA and IHRA (apparently).
You can get them from the US off eBay for about $100 USD, but can also get them in Australia through http://www.superplus.com.au/ - which is where I got mine. However, it cost $185 AUD, and that wasn't including postage - which came to $38 through Australia Post (I figured it would be closer to $20). So OUCH! it's bloody expensive, but it's heaps better than the bodgy ones you get from Repco, Super Cheap etc.
I am completely removing the back seat outta my Sprinter and it's going to sit right behind the passenger seat.
Thought people might like to know...
