Icon3 Mini Battery in front bumper. Bracket??

i finished my wire tuck a few weekends ago and now the final thing to do is get rid of my huge ugly battery. I picked up a mini odyssey battery and wanna stuff it in my front bumper by the frame rails (i dont like it in the trunk nor do i like to run wires similar to a system throughout the car).

So my question is who sells a bracket or has a template to make one for my EK? A write up on this type of a relocation would be great right about now...Thanks!

You could probably fab up a bracket easy. I'm in the same spot, I can't decide to do bumper or trunk mount. I have a amp to run wires for so either way I have to run wires to the back

The mount should be next to the tranny. (depending where you want it, but I recommend there.

What is the point off doing the tuck if you are just going to clutter the bay up with the battery. Just do it behind the bumper support like you wanted to. Take your battery to a local welding shop and have them fab one that fits for you. (or diy) Then bolt it on where it needs to go. GL and post some pics when you are done.

Good luck with the odyssey battery. I had two 680 batteries I got for free. Each one only lasted a year until they died and had to be replaced.
