1935 Battery Relocation
 

So my battery has been moved to under the hood on the passenger side due to juice brakes installed. I hate it being there and would like to find another location. I have a slantback so it would be a pain to put it behind the back seat. Has anybody ever hidden a small Optimum 6V somewhere else? If so where and pics would be much appreciated!!!

Hmmm... I have a '36 with '40 brakes and my battery remains in the authentic box below the floor.
Me? I'd figure out how to "correct" the juice brake installation and put the battery back in its original spot.

The Optima can be installed sideways, which gives you many options for relocation.

What model 35? My 35 three window had the battery in the floor. My 35 2 door sedan has the battery in the rear, behind the seat.

I had a Friend that put a battery in a 35 pickup under the floor , on the passengr side

I think Speedway makes a bracket/ box that you can mount on the frame on the passenger side under the back part of the front fender.

Sorry. I had to go back and rea your post a second time to see you have a slant back. Behind the seat is where my battery is, (2 door slant back).It's not the best place, but it's not really that difficult to get to/service. I found the battery in the floor to be an absolute pain. That car was stock, with simple floor mats. I could not imagine trying to get to the frame mounted, under floor battery with a nice custom interior to mess with.
