   But a 306 battery box is plastic??
   
   
   Just buy a universale one from the likes of raldes or Merlin motorsport, make sure that the box and battery are secure

   only the front and side are plastic. base is metal and the battery is bolted down with bracket to the base. i didnt put the plastic back on when it was in boot..
