Source for 1990 battery tray?

[Jeff_Birt]

While installing a new battery in my 1990 BII I noticed the battery tray has seen better days. It seems like nobody reproduces these, all I'm finding is the 'once size fits none' universal garbage. I'm guessing this is the same tray as the same year range Ranger. Can anyone confirm? I have not been able to find the part # under the sheet metal section in the parts catalog.

It’s the same as an 89-92 Ranger tray

Junk yard might be a good source. Pull a good one, clean, paint, install. I believe some people have upgraded to newer trays so they can fit a slightly larger battery. I haven't done it personally. So, I'm not sure how simple it is.

Where are you located?

IIRC a second gen is rived in so it shouldn't be super hard to harvest. They are heavier made than first gens and seem to hold up better.

I used a brick nose fullsize battery tray in my '85. It bolts in, I just had to drill three holes and it holds a group 65 battery. I know the battery trays sit different between a first gen and a second gen (second gens are more at an angle) so I don't know how well it would fit.
