Mounting & Hardware

For your starting and charging system to function properly, all components must be properly mounted and secured. That may sound like basic common sense, but the fact is there are many potential causes including corrosion, vibration, and use of incorrect parts that can result in problems ranging from poor system performance to extremely dangerous situations. But no worries, we have the parts that can keep your vehicle operating properly and safely.

There are chemical products on the market that can restore the appearance of a rusty battery tray, but this approach is predicated on the assumption that corrosion hasn’t compromised the strength of the metal. Batteries are very heavy and there must be sufficient material for adequate support. The safest course of action is replacement, and we offer new battery trays for both late model vehicles and classic cars. Some replacements for newer vehicles are made of plastic that is impervious to corrosion and most trays come in a kit with everything needed for installation. Our classic car trays are identical to OE in every detail.

When rebuilding your race car, moving a battery to a better location is a common thing. Drag racers often move the battery to trunk to take weight off the front of the car. For that purpose we carry a variety of battery relocation kits. You can also find single and dual battery trays, battery mounts, battery boxes and more. Choose a battery tray or a hold-down made from the most rugged materials and covered with corrosion-resistant coating to ensure long-lasting durability. With CARiD you can keep your battery securely in place no matter how tough the road gets! Billet aluminum battery mounts and tie downs are a great option not only for holding your battery right where you left it, but also for outfitting your ride with some polished shine.

If your late model vehicle has a broken alternator bracket, there’s no need to pay the high dealer price, and if you need one for a classic restoration, you don’t have to hunt around at swap meets. We offer OE spec brackets with 100% correct appearance to position the alternator for proper charging system operation. We also offer chrome or billet aluminum alternator brackets for those who want to enjoy a great look every time they lift the hood. Performance brackets we offer are powdercoated to resist rust and corrosion much better when compared to stock steel parts.

We also have the correct starter mounting bolts that many vehicles require to ensure the starter is properly located. Substituting ordinary bolts can result in a starter that is out of position, which can cause the starter drive and flywheel teeth to grind and destroy themselves instead of meshing properly. If you need starter bolts and shims for your high performance street car or high torque starter for your race engine, we offer an extensive selection of starter parts, hardware and accessories to choose from.
