Battery Tray

[Milo]

Can anyone tell me what size battery tray is correct in 68 - 24 or 27? I assume it's the larger 27, but I'm just guessing at this point...

Thanks!

I believe there is only one sized battery tray. C7ZZ-10732-D

The battery is a Group 24. Here is an old auction I found of the correct tray

+1 on group 24 tray. What is most ideal is a new or nice used original. The front brace typically has a month ,day ,shift  numbers metal stamped into the support brace underneath the tray facing outward. The repros and maybe even the late service parts do not.The originals are the best quality also . I have seen some poorly made repros in comparison.

Ill keep an eye out for a good original.

Just an  example (was posted on the old site) to illustrate  Example is from a 67 - for those that notice differences but dating is the focus

I remembered this thread from earlier this year. One thing I learned on this board many years ago is to never, never throw an original part away. Ran across my original battery tray and compared it to the tray I was going to use which is a service replacement from the mid 80's. They are different. The profiles and very different. Thanks Pete and Bob for once again illustrating why it is important to keep your original parts. I will most likely find a good metal guy and have them make the repairs on the original tray and go with it. It really is not that bad.
