you need to spot or mig weld it. its best to bent the braces to the side or remove them completely and then install the box. drill some holes in the edge and weld in the holes to the firewall etc.. brazing will warp everything. i did the same thing to my gt6 about 10 yrs ago and ive now had to cut it all out and repair it.

I drilled a little too far just one or two times. I had planned on drilling holes around the perimeter of the new battery box and faux spotwelding it in. Before I drilled any holes and was trial fitting the box I didn't see how I could seal it after I welded it. I guess thick paint was all that sealed the old one. I don't know. Anyone have a better idea of how to install a new battery box? The old braces look like swisscheese too.
