I'm trying to do the reverse, put the stock battery back. For the Evo 8, under the Battery tray there is another bracket. Anyone know where this rubber piece is suppose be bolted down to?

 

hmm my IX doesnt have a bracket there. that could be for the intake box

 

Hum... Thanks.. I'll take a look. The intake box have that main bracket, then the small bracket that goes on the side for sure. Need to look at the service manual again. Well, good to know at least you don't have it. Thanks for the reply!

 

My bracket on the battery tray has 2 arms that hold up wire looms and 1 big plug/connector. it bolts on the IM corner of the tray

 

Thank you so very much. Yes, I have that bracket that bolts on the side of the tray. I also found that other bracket with the rubber piece on it. Its dirty, so I'm assuming it will be on the bottom somewhere. It could be from some where else close to the battery....

 

I dont have that bracket. I wonder if its the one that holds up the clutch line. I'm missing mine

 

R u talking about the 2 U bolt brackets? One U bracket that connects to the hardline, then there is another U Bracket in the middle of the clutch line?

 

i'm missing one near the motor. I knew its a U but I havent seen it in a while

 

Zip Ties!!

 

I actually just upgraded to a braided steel line yesterday Now the U-bracket holds a 40A DC power socket that I've always needed

 

Hey guys i know i am resurrecting a old thread, but i found this kit that is pretty cool and going to install on my car this weekend, figured it anyone else is looking back at evom for battery relocation tips or what they will need they can find this useful as i am, gets rid of the entire old harness that we have and he also makes kits specific to the 8 and 9.
