Holden HQ HJ HX HZ WB Steel Battery Tray Rust Repair Section 6cyl V8

Restore one of the most corrosion-prone areas of your classic Holden engine bay with this steel replacement battery tray, designed to suit Holden HQ, HJ, HX, HZ and WB models.

After decades of exposure to battery acid, moisture and general engine bay contamination, original battery trays commonly suffer from surface corrosion, heavy pitting or complete rust-through. Previous repairs can also leave this area patched, modified or structurally compromised.

Rather than fabricating a replacement from flat sheet steel or trying to repair a severely deteriorated original, this formed steel replacement provides a purpose-made battery tray and rust repair section for restoring the original battery mounting area.

Suitable for selected 6-cylinder and V8 Holden applications, this is an ideal replacement for restorations, engine bay rebuilds and general rust repairs.

Designed for Rust Repair & Restoration

The battery tray is an area that can easily be overlooked until an engine bay restoration begins.

Common problems with original HQ-WB battery trays include:

• Battery acid corrosion
• Surface rust
• Deep steel pitting
• Rust holes
• Weakened mounting areas
• Previous patch repairs
• Modified or cut original trays
• Missing battery tray sections

Replacing a heavily deteriorated tray with a formed steel repair section provides a cleaner foundation for an engine bay restoration and avoids having to fabricate the original tray profile from scratch.

Formed Steel Construction

Manufactured from formed steel with rounded corners and folded returns, this replacement is designed to reproduce the shape and function required of the original battery tray area.

The tray is supplied with a black corrosion-resistant plated finish, providing protection during storage and installation.

For detailed restorations, the tray can be appropriately prepared and refinished to suit the desired engine bay finish.
