Here's some pics of a battery tray that I pulled out of a car today, BY HAND!!! I didn't use a chisel or even a screw driver to pull the tray off. I just kept pulling and twisting, and it broke free without a struggle. None of the weld beads had any penetration. I broke all the welds off with only a vice grips and a little twist. I don't believe the guy (who shouldn't be allowed near a 914 with a welder) even clamped the tray and stand as he tried to weld. I think the guy tried to learn how to weld and install a battery tray in this 914 at the same time, and didn't do either one. I say he got the welder out of the box and start touching the car with it first thing, without a bit of practice.
Here's the weld along the back of the tray, against the right engine bay wall. ![]() ![]() Here's the underside of the tray/stand, and the alledged welds. ![]() ![]() |

Don't laugh too hard, we all had to start somewhere...I think my first welding experience ended up something close to that...still I wouldn't want the beginner or apprentice welder to lose all his confindence or face by laughing at him like that in front of everyone, but that is just me....though sometimes depending on the case it may not hurt or may even help to get the persons welding skills, confidence or technical levels up...anyways those parts are still useable, a couple of minutes of grinding them down and you are ready to go. Cheers
