Ray, Just a couple of weeks ago we installed a 24V HUP set in an existing installation. We had an existing plywood battery box made of Baltic Birch (the 9-ply 12mm thick plywood typically used for cabinet drawer carcases) with a liner made of 40(?)-mil pond liner material. We removed the six cells from the steel case, set the case in place in the plywood box and lowered the cells into it. However, the box had a non-removable 5" wide strip across the top rear, and we needed to slide the entire 1100 pound case back about 8" in order to fit both steel cases. Before setting the steel case in the box I sprayed the floor of the pond liner with a layer of the new spray pulling lube from Klein Tools, then set the steel case in place and lowered the cells. Using a Porta-Power and some blocking, we slid the case into place with little effort. You might find that vinyl pond liner works well in a plywood box. We found it at a Home Depot.
