Default Battery compartment
Could someone post a few pics of a "normal" battery compartment?

Mine consists of a some rusty pieces, a piece of 2x4 and the old crappy (no longer with us) small WalMart battery. I just want to get an idea of what it should look like.

Thanks if you can help.

Take out the 2x4 and the battery and what you have left is likely to be typical.

this is what is used to hold down the battery, part of it is riveted to the body
