    Question Mk4 irs battery box

    Well...i went to FFMetals to get a dropped battery box and found out they don't have one for MK4 with IRS after 2017.
    Anyone find/make a dropped battery box for their MK4?
    Also, looks like a battery could mount just behind the pumpkin on the crossbar. However, access later could be dicey.

    I think FFmetals is working on a two 6 Volt battery solution but hasn't finalized it yet.
