Twin Battery System
Just a quick question. Does anyone know the exact dimensions of the Mobile Centre twin batt tray? I have a flat dog version and it says only suitable for batts up to 170mm tall. Now the PC 1500 comes in at 190mm. Both measurements taken from the respective websites.
So is the MC tray that much lower? Will the flatdog version work with twin PC1500's?
I don't want to strip it all down only to find it doesn't fit. 110 D250 SE HT
110 USW SOLD
RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it
VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys

Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD

You can fit slightly higher batteries with the flat dog tray but the box needs a little modification.

The clamp nearest the rear bulkhead is the issues so I changed the M6 threaded rod to an M8 then cut a small section of the rear lip away so you can access the strap and retaining nut. Will upload a picture later but Ive now got two Exides under the seat.

My batteries are L317mm W175mm H175mm
