I have to fit a new battery box to a Mini and I am considering bonding it in with a suitable structural adhesive.
My feelings are that this will be an ideal way to do this and it will be structurally sound as well as easier than a lot of welding. It is the bottom of the battery box which is corroded, so the top edges/flange is in good condition. All that needs doing it the old box cutting of, the edges linishing back to paint-free metal and the adhesive applying to the new box. Then just drop the box in with some weight in the bottom of the box to provide contact pressure during curing of the adhesive.
Has anyone else done this?
