Default Battery box template

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the offer for the template. At this stage Tony Wheeler is dropping by in the next week or so with his holder for me to get measurements.
I don't have the bolts either but should be able to get enough info off Tony's.
Looks like they are a forging in the photos. If so, will be paying the local blacksmith a visit. If welded to the rivet plate it will be an easy fabrication.

You may be able to get reasonably close brass wingnuts from a ship's chandler/provedore. They look very similar in design to ones I have seen at sea over the years. Doubt the design has changed much in decades.
Brgds,
