    Does anyone have any suggestions on Battery Tray's that will work for a 72 Comet.

    Mine rusted right through.

    What have most folks done? I imagine this is pretty common.

    Thanks

    I used a tray from a 67 Mustang and drilled the brace off with a spot weld bit and put my Maverick brace in its place.

    There is a company selling the entire tray for big $$$. Or buy the correct fairlane repop tray for $20 at AK and weld on a used Maverick support bracket.
