To accomplish your goal, there is a complete kit available including the new tub, wires, etc.
Please remember when buying new 6 new batteries 2 of the six will not be counted for core value and the price will be higher for two of the new batteries.

Hope this helps your decisions.
I was afraid I might have to replace the battery compartment. My controller and OBC are already mounted on an aluminum heat sink behind the battery compartment and don't infringe on the space within so I guess I'm OK there. Where is the kit available; do you stock it? The (2) no core adn'l cost is something I hadn't considered.

Thanks for your help
