I had planned to build a gantry over Christmas but managed to pull my right leg out of my hip socket, which in turn created back issues and laid me horizontal for five weeks.
Mobile now but on light duties so decided to finish the storage bins and the battery holder.
I’ve not had much luck with modern 6v lead acid batteries, being lucky to get 2 years out of them. I decided to try an Optima 6v. Only issue being the shape, I got around this with a dummy cover. The battery top and tray are one of the few repro parts in this restoration and is just a roughy until I can copy an original.
