Smile Lightweight battery and overflow tank(pics enclosed)

Over the weekend I installed my Hawker Odyssey battery and Jaz
overflow tank onto my 93Z. These two items knocked off 30 lbs.
directly off the front of my car. Had to do a little fabrication on the
mounting bracket but other then that it was simple.

Weights:
Odyssey battery- 14.7 lbs
Jaz overflow tank 1 lb.

Re: Lightweight battery and overflow tank(pics enclosed)

The battery weighed 37 lbs. and the factory overflow
tank weighed 9 lbs. w/coolant. So I removed 46 lbs of
factory style parts and added back ~16 lbs. of
lightweight parts.
