This works on both the 03 and 05. Been doing this for quite awhile now and never had a problem.

Another solution is to just offset the battery and tape it in.

Hope this helps and you understood what to do from my description.

Another thing this mod does is that it makes the motor easier to remove and replace cause the battery holder does not get in the way.
Sorry for asking Granpa,

Any picture showing this modification?Thanks.
