Battery Tray - Now ordered two of these reproductions from two different companies and on both trays the bottom mounting hole for the bracket is off about 2"s from factory original - My factory original one (71 Superbee) has a few rust holes so I wanted to replace with a reproduction one - Everything else looks great but that one mounting hole for the bracket - My factory one that hole is in about 4.5"s from the top right corner - These new units the hole is in 2.5"s - HELP ??? By the way hats off with the customer service from both companies , full refund including shipping , but of course my time

Anyways who makes the correct one ??? 71 Superbee battery tray

Haven't seen a correct repro yet,...and the vintage NOS one I purchased for my E body didn't even have half the holes knocked out!

Yep, same here. Here's the mounting hole for the brace that mismatches on the one I bought.

I got mine from Year One - Explained the issue , the guy on the phone went and checked all his stock and the hole on all of them was in the wrong spot like pictured - Not only did he refund my money , told me to keep it and not worry about returning it - Cant complain about that kind of customer service !!! Bought another on Ebay , again hole in wrong spot even though the picture on the auction looked correct Anyways heading to Mopars In The Park next month , at least I can look before buying

Why don't you just drill a new hole in the correct spot on the free tray from YO?
