Thanks for that, Jacques!

I do still have the metal caps, bu they are worn from friction against steel.
I'm not aware of anywhere the rubber seals are to be found, and I know from experience that the ones Macs stock are far too small. They have evaded me this far, on any of the auction sites too.

It's my turn again to have major computer problems with the home laptop, so the photos I have been trying to post, showing the battery box I have now received, have not yet been uploadable. My IP is working on this problem, but not yet able to cure it.

When I got the battery box, I had a very pleasent surprise. What I had originally thought was just a piece of black perspex used to hide the 'modern' battery inside the original, was far more useful. When I turned it over (the side NOT shown on the ebay listing), I found the previous owner had attached the two original lead cell connectors, as well as three battery cell caps!!! The caps aren't right, but the lead strips are exactly what I was wanting. I plan to try and make a plaster mold from the best one, so I can make more at a later date.

Thanks again, Jacques. I'll write to you privately, this evening.
