I thought the battery box was steel? Would it not be better to use the same material?
Or am I being thick again

So did I!! checked with a magnet today and it only stuck to one part of it, the back bit that's facing the rear axle which is the bit that's badly corroded? must of been patched up with some mild steel.

Maybe its to rusty for a magnet to stick
