czwh42 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Does anyone have a replacement battery tray for a Manta B they may consider selling ? Please contact via PM. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Manta's didn't have a separate battery tray (unless air con was fitted) I'm not sure if I have ever seen a repair panel if you mean the bulkhead shelf the battery lives on. Probably a fabricate job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the old grey matter serves me right, there used to be repair panels available. However, I haven't seen them for a while so I'm going to presume they are not available any more. I posted the wanted ad on the off chance someone may have one they are willing to part with. Failing that and as you say, it may well have to be a self fabricate job.

rutts Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 just cut out the rot, plate up the holes then get a vectra b battery tray fits nicely and hold battery perfect and covers 90% of the repair underneath . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) Bit of pointless information; Replacement panels are available from Germany (repo), however being that; Europeans drive on the wrong side of the road! the replacement panels are on the wrong side also. You could fabricate one to fit (cost for panel about £60). However as posted above, your probably cheaper and easier to buy vectra one. http://shop.ps-autoteile.de/Batterieblech+Opel+Ascona+Manta+B_130504_p.dpage?cag=232818&page=10 Edited April 22, 2010 by keith1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I've bought stuff from PS Autotiele and they are helpful and understand English. No harm in a quick email to see if they can source a RHD one for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
