In Reply to: Battery Tray & Gas Tank posted by Kelly on July 07, 1998 at 13:53:44:
: I have found a fender well (apron) whatever you call it under the battery tray to weld back into my 69 1/2 Mavrick but the actuall battery tray is about 40% gone. Does anyone know if any after market suppliers would carry it. ALso while I was looking I found a drop in the trunk gas tank which I believe was only used in this first year of mavrick. It does not appear to have any rusted areas but the junk yard sat the car on the ground with a muffler under it so it has a bend in it. I had my tank plasticoated inside so hopefully I wont need it. I have it and the sending unit if someone needs one. I have no idea what its worth, I am going to try to find someone who can take the bend out without putting a hole in the tank... I also will need one of those round emblems for the grill if there are any suggestions....Thanks Kelly

There is a company called Auto Krafters which has a catalog of Maverick/Comet parts for the '70-'77 model years. I purchased a battery tray for my '76 through them, and it fit perfectly. I just took the catalog out of my briefcase, so I don't have it handy here at work. Their Web page is http://www.autokrafters.com (you can apparently order online as well as through the catalog). Good luck!
