getting to the battery.

bones vaguely muttered something like ...

Never tried it myself, but hinged at the front seats, A la Disco 3 door, with a hinged flap to cover the battery, maybe ?

when I put a V8 in our series II swb I also put chrysler car seats in. to mount them I made up some brackets that were hinged at the front so I could tilt them to get to the battery. The drivers side didnt tit much as the steering wheel was in the way but the passenger side tilted ample to get to the battery. Richard

what do you want to get to the battery for?. if its only for jumpstarting, then you can get a big heavy duty plug in connector that you attach to your battery on a bit of battery lead. leave it there coiled under the seat or something, and then get a pair of jump leads with the same connector on one end so you can connect to an external battery.

I cant find a picture of one anywhere on the internet, but have got em on my landy where the battery is under the seat.

Why do you need to get to it?

Batteries don't generally need any routine maintenance these days, and should last 2-3 years easily. Doesn't seem any great hardship having to unbolt a seat every couple of years!

You can install an inline shutoff switch to isolate the battery, and if you position it right you will be able to access the terminals for jump starting if necessary.

i also kept some tools under the seat. Richard

They're called Anderson connectors, I'd recommend this setup as well.
