Battery location doubts

[Bill_VA]

FF Metals box will not fit if you’re running a GT500 finned cover on a Ford 8.8 solid axle 3-link. It hits.

I will add this is a super nice piece however and Id like to find a smaller battery that may allow me to notch the box and still use it. Very well made, worth the mod and changing a battery if there’s a sufficiently smaller one.

Good to know, thank you. Pictures? Not sure what a GT500 finned cover looks like. Where on the cover would it have made contact?

Just grind a little clearance on the cover?

Too close across the top.
Dropped 2" right now and am 2" away from the box. once sitting down on wheels it'll be scary close and under compression I am sure will hit.
To Richs point I'm going to revisit trimming the fins.
