Does anyone know if the metal battery tray is removable and replaceable?

I had a go with mine but its rusted as fvck lol. The two bolts are loose and wont unscrew properly. I havent really tried to pry it off.

Now is it only two bolts to be undone before I can remove this tray?

There is 3 12mm bolts to be removed. And abit of wiring stuck to the side I believe - then u wiggle it out. Make sure u clean all mud/gunk/leaves etc out of there

So its just two bolts in the center hole and one on the right?
Yea i gave it ago today and it seems the bolts are rusted through (cant undo them). only way is to grind or maybe drill the bolts out.

soak them in WD40 or similar - then get a deep socket SIX (6) sided (not multi-hex like alot of sockets are) and apply flat force to it with abit of leverage , you should be able to crack them.

Also, would this part be available for purchase from honda or something? Or would have to find second hand?

Yea i just packed on wd40 and letting it set in.
