Hey folks,
Need replace battery box (it's cracked).
The aluminum one are $970 at Aircraft Spruce!

Any places for used boxes?

My only thought would be to try the salvage yards. That sure is a nice replacement battery box though. I'm guessing most of that cost has to cover all the FAA paper work to make it "legal"

Where is the old one cracked that it can't be patched or has it been repaired too many times?

They patch corvettes all the time. What you need is an A&P with an AC 43.13-1A, to show you how lay glass. A trip to Autozone or NAPA and some glass mat.

Ive got a 150 battery box in very good shape, no holes or corrosion. Clips in place. Take a look at the salvage sites etc. Let me know if you are ok with 200$ for the box and lid. Needs to be cleaned and repainted.
