I'm looking at putting a pair of 680s in the normal battery location.  I 

know several others have done this... would you be so kind as to share 

your tray design?



The plan is to do a Z-14 with the ability to crank the engine with 1 or 

both batts.  Any comments on that welcome.

Dan Lloyd had designed a nice tray, but I couldn't find any pictures in the

archives.   Dan also made some seat levers too.



Dan,



Can you share your battery tray and seat levers with us again?



Thanks,



Bob

Here's a link to a photo album it's got about 10 pics (follow the 

controls on the left of the page) that shows how I modified mine, I've 

got 2 680's and am building a Z14 arch.



Battery tray const.

With Batteries installed :

http://deemsrv10.com/album/Wiring/slides/DSC03227.html



I'm using a 60 amp alt as the main and the SD-20 as the Aux. (parallel). 

To the best of my ability it's wired per Nuckols drawing. (except batts 

grounded to airframe in rear)



In the picture below the START switch (lower left) will momentarily 

couple both batteries together, moving the switch the other direction 

activated the Cross feed contactor couple the systems if desired/necessary.

Tim has them posted on his website under the modifications section, at

least for the battery tray. The seat levers were based off of someone

else's, but I had an Mechanical Engineer in New York redesign them

because the ones that the other person were selling were breaking at the

pivot point.

What we did was to put in a floating pin, so that the pivot stress was

reduced. I can take some pictures and post them if anyone is interested.
