Just been Out and removed the masking and wiped off any seepage still coming from the seams.

I think I am happy with this repair . ( And it is a repair not a restoration.. )
Things like this play on my mind and I normally end up taking it all apart a few weeks , if not days, down the line to replace the repair with factory parts.
But that would mean completely stripping the trunk and underside to spot weld in a new battery tray and then even then I would have to reinforce the nut with weld in case it seized again in the future ....

It’s a good sign , that looking at the pictures my eyes are drawn to the yellowing plastic on the fluid reservoir , the wrinkles in the tank hold-down strap , and the oxidized copper on the batter/chassis ground instead of the repair
