Repro WS No 19 Cdn battery box

[Bob Carriere]

The boxes BSP 6v 100/125 AH mark IV and mark II and the BSP 6 v 170 AH are more suited for the 19 set. They also have the advantage of having lift handles that are still commercially available.

The hinges remain a problem since they will have to be hand made. Slotted screws for the handle and the small slotted screws for the metal strips can be sources from dealers like Spaneour (spelling ?)

Sourcing the wood in the proper thickness will be a hassle but not impossible.... most likely you will have to buy readily available stock of 3/4 or 7/8 in. thickness and waste the better part through a thickess planer...... the width of single boards will also be hard to find....... but with modern glues and some dowels or biscuit or hard wood plines we should be able to work around it ..... that may necessitate to work with a 1/2 in. wall thickness

Nice future project.
