Battery holder pattern
Hi Tony, Thanks again for the info. The first drawing is what I reckon the base of the holder looks like and the spacing of the rivets that attach it to the sides and base plate. I assumed it is a separate piece based on the rivets on the tabs on the sides, or is it riveted directly to the base plate? (You can see I haven't been a draughtsman for 45 years-forgot to label the drawing, fail!)
The dimensions and position of the rivet holes that hold the battery securing bolts would be most appreciated. Again my previous source did not supply them, but in fairness, he was not a "Blitz" restorer. He supplied numerous photos which helped greatly and have attached a couple more here. The one of the front corner may be helpful for the little toe plate that keeps the battery in.
And I am right for the base plate dimensions. Mine is all there and in good condition. Often they are not from years of acid spllls from the battery so thanks for asking.
Brgds,
Jacques
