It's also welded onto the chassis rail with a vertical bracket

yep ive got that one, ive sanded the tray back to try and see them but i cant see any, tryed peeling it back but still held down strong

[vkberlina]

slide a cold chisel under the bettery tray and give it a hit with a hammer it will show up remaining spot welds to drill out, its not going to be pretty

best way to find the spot welds is to hit it with a blow torch, scorch/burn the paint and hit it with a wire brush, (thats if you are respraying the whole area). Tends to show up the welds nicely then.
