New battery boxes

[Ian Grace]

John Nagle can have these made to order. I just had two made - one for the Mac and one for Debbie Borman's 2-seater over here in Seattle.

They are £44.00 each. Contact John at john@mole-end.eu if you would like one.

Looks good but why is the propshaft coupling so 'bent'? Highlander.

Well spotted Alister! Probably because there is no body on the chassis, and therefore no weight, so the chassis is riding high on its rear springs?

I have had two from John Nagle - well made welded construction and they come with a drilled angle strip to clamp the battery - you have to make your own hook bolts. Just one thought - I will drill some drain holes to let any water out before I paint them. Second thought - run a heavy duty battery negative cable to one of the fixing bolts on the starter motor and run earth return cables to all lights etc and not rely on the chassis for earth return.

I initially thought about the prop coupling as well, and then worked out that there was no body, (should have been obvious eh!).... and as Ian says, that's why the coupling is so bent, must have been a right game getting it on like that!!
