Firstly if this isnt in the best section, can a mod please move it to where it belongs.

Im basically trying to find a way to rotate my battery 90 degrees. I have a fabia vrs mk2. I was looking at using the battery tray from a vw golf mk5. Its from a 2.0tdi if that makes a difference? Dont have the fogiest if it wouldwork or not. Im open to any ideas/opinions on the best way to do it. Im not willing to move it into the boot as its far too much hassle. Kind of hoping it would be as simple as taking my battery tray out (battery sits horizontally) and replacing with the golf one which sits vertically. I may be pishing into the wind here. Any advice welcome

Why are you trying to alter it?

So ive got more room where I need it in the engine bay.

But why do you need more room in the engine bay?

So he can store an extra bottle of oil in the car sorry MK2 owners! Couldn't resist it

No oil issue here. Not any more anyway

For an intake.

You'd be better off investing in 3-monthly OEM air filter changes than wasting money on intakes unless you are running Stage2 and above.

 

Have you thought about Braille battery? - http://www.braillebattery.com/press/CatalogPrint.pdf

Ive already got an intake, just want to make an adjustment to it, that involves me having to rotate the battery to create space.

People, people, his motives are not here for us to question.

Now why were you wanting to do that again?

Once the 'White Lightening' wears off i will remember who turned their battery.

(i remember it was no me, i know that.)

Maybe stick it in the Boot if not going for the Small Battery, and get better balance with the handling.
