Your help needed, I am trying to re fix the battery into the van with the hooks and bar, I also have a new battery cover to go over the top.
I can not fathom out now it all goes together, tried hunting for pictures on the web but couldn’t find any..
Does any one have any pictures they could share to how it all goes together.
Bar and hooks from somerford mini, box from newtons, with the little rubber straps that seem to have nowhere to hook to.

Re: Mini van battery fixing help.
Thanks Mab I have 23 bar, 25 hooks and also 29 cover with 30 rubber straps all within on 35 tray.
just not sure how it all fit together, where the hooks hook on body or if I am something missing.

Re: Mini van battery fixing help.
These photos below from the thread linked previously, are for the Traveler/Countryman/Clubman estate but I believe battery mounting is similar for Van and Pickup so they may help?
Anyone have some actual Mini van pics they can share for the finer details?

Re: Mini van battery fixing help.
Looking at those pictures, the van is a little different.
Looking at the van floor parts list I have number 42 in place, but those little holes along the bottom sort of work, but the hook bolts are not long enough to hold the battery bar? may need a thinner battery.
