Battery stowage bin query
Clive Hughes made this battery box for me some years ago for my 1944 MK2. It's very nicely made and I thought he'd copied it from his original. But all the others I've seen have ribs in the lid. Can the experts confirm that mine is wrong? If so! Can anyone point me towards another lid or someone who can make one.
Thanks in advance,Ron

Hello Ron,
I have seen origanals like yours with no ribs, some with stright ribs and some with crossed ribs. So i think yours is ok. Stephen

Thanks Stephen and Shaun. I'm more than happy to leave mine as it is if it's correct. As far as I know Clive Hughes is a stickler for getting it right and I wondered about different variations. Anyone got an original picture of a smooth lid? Ron

Hi Kevin, bring them over at the week end , i have just put a shed load of Dingo parts in for copying so it will be a couple of weeks before he is back, but if they are here i can ge them to him. I have had him make some extra items i have had done for your and Ben (as long as you dont fight over them lads !)
