Yes there is a guy in Alberta that has them. Scott's Super Trucks. I have an exact 3D cad model of the parts from an original I have and have considered having some made myself. The bottom tray is the same as the the pass side one it's the brackets that are different.

Re: AUX battery tray

I bought mine from someone on this website a couple of months ago for around $100. It didn't have any pits and looked like a NOS one after it was bead-blasted and painted - they come up every now and then.

Re: AUX battery tray

Called Scotts today and he is not making them anymore, he said the demand wasn't high enough. But he did say he would make more if he had more interest in them..

PLEASE EVERYBODY CALL HIM AND ASK ABOUT THEM, then maybe he will get more made.

Re: AUX battery tray

So what level of perfection do you think people want on this? If I were to get some made to near perfection I'd need to laser or water jet cut to get all the holes nice and I'd need to use two different gauges of material. What are your opinions on something where the holes needed a little clean up on the drill press and both the side plates and the small angles that support the tray were in the same gauge of material? On the OE one the angles are a gauge thinner than the side plates. I can see where these could be pricey to make. If most are looking for something functional that looks 96% then it might be easier and cheaper to do. Frankly most of the holes in the one side plate look like they aren't used in a lot of applications anyway. Can I assume that a lot of the time people are looking for this tray to use in an lsx swap?

I did a LS swap too, I need a new tray anyway... Having it on the other side would give me room for an air filter box. Also kinda balance out the engine compartment.
