ianl1 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So today i removed the 2 inches of mud and the fitted carpet from inside the bottom of my 300 battery box I discovered 4 little slots in the bottom of the box which vented into a small metal box welded to the underside of the battery box I asumed it is a drain , but The small box doesnt seem to have any holes in it So it seams to just be a way to store a little more mud, which of course is quite possible on a defender Have i missed some drain holes , i dont want to poke too hard, or have i missed some plot?

western Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 those slots are for the battery retention 'J' clamps to grip on, the little box on underside is to stop raod carp getting in there & rusting the J clamp ends. item 10 is the J bolts http://www.allbrit.de/UNI.cfm?PAGE=763136&SPRACHE=EN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Both mine have rotted out now and replaced by some nice solid fibre glass!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerfred Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think that the under side of the afore mentioned should have a slot opening on one end under the box for drainage, I have just had the floor of my '94 90 County battery box replaced as half of it was rotted out.
