Battery Tray Fender Bracket
« on: July 20, 2016, 07:13:39 AM »
I'm looking for the battery tray bracket that bolts to the inner fender on a 65 GS.  It's the same on a 65 Cutlass but I'm not sure of any other years.  Hopefully someone has one, I'm ready to fire up the car after 6 months of work rebuilding and retrofitting a 401 into a stock Skylark and this is the last piece to the puzzle.  At least for today :-)

Dear douillette and mid-60s Buick parts hounds, . . .

I'm looking for the battery tray bracket that bolts to the inner fender on a 65 GS.  It's the same on a 65 Cutlass but I'm not sure of any other years.  Hopefully someone has one, I'm ready to fire up the car after 6 months of work rebuilding and retrofitting a 401 into a stock Skylark and this is the last piece to the puzzle.  At least for today :-)


If the battery tray truly is the same for the 1965 Cutlass then Fusick sells a reproduction:

It is a bit pricey but will save you the time of cleaning up and painting a used one.

FYI . . . . . Edouard

P.S. Oops! Maybe this isn't the part you want.  Sorry I read your posting a bit too fast.  Anyway, if Fusick does make it it will be on this page somewhere:

It's the same and yes Fusick has the tray but no luck on the bracket.  Thanks anyway.

Hopefully Kevin has one available.  This is one of those parts that is '65-'66 GS specific.

After searching through a very warm shop for two hours I found it hiding in the bottom of my blast cabinet. Unfortunately it is for the passenger side or a Skylark part. Your welcome to it, could be modified for use on the drivers side.
