Hi Larry,

Rimmer Brother lists the 2 braces in there online catalog for about $23
each.  Part numbers are 613686 & 613687.

As for sealing the battery box, how about automotive seam sealer?  Designed
for the job, and paintable too.

I drilled out all the spotwelds and got my old rusty battery box out. I 
drilled a little too far just one or two times. I had planned on 
drilling holes around the perimeter of the new battery box and faux 
spotwelding it in. Before I drilled any holes and was trial fitting the 
box I didn't see how I could seal it after I welded it. I guess thick 
paint was all that sealed the old one. I don't know. Anyone have a 
better idea of how to install a new battery box? The old braces look 
like swisscheese too.

Larry
