MK5 Battery Box

[rponfick]

Has anyone installed the front mount battery box yet. The angle braces on my car verses the photos in the assembly manual do not seem to match. My narrow "V" is to the front and the wider "V" brace is to the rear, which appears opposite in the manual. It appears you overlay the tray over the E-W crossmember about an inch toward the engine. It can't be a MK4 photo in the manual, but did they change some of the frame braces in development?
It is not a big issue, but just curious.

I installed
Mine with no issue - mine was the first MKV out of the factory.

The pic in the manual may be from the Daytona which is somewhat different.

Thanks, my curiosity has been satisfied. Things just looked different.
