Default Battery box

Dose anyone have the dimensions for the 12V 22ah wooden batteries as used in WW2 please?

If you are looking for wireless battery boxes, I know I've posted some images/documents in past and will try to find and link to them.
The search was faster to get results than I'd expected. http://mapleleafup.net/forums/showth...reless+battery don't forget to look at the PDF attachment I posted for a summary of box dimensions.

Thanks very much for the link Grant. I've been reaming through it all. So far I haven't found dimensions specifically for the 12v 22ah. box. Regards Ron

Stupid Boy! I have one all along that was tucked away and I'd forgotten about

Here are the dimensions for anyone who needs them (It's had the handles removed, if anyone has any?)

12" W x 5 1/2" D x 9 3/4" H

Would you like the Niphan socket for the front of it?

(A bit bashed, as the person who removed it for me took a brute force approach, and it's off a 6V 40AH accumulator so you'll need to re-work the cabling, but otherwise complete.) Heat gun, "Chats" (or bitumen) and big soldering iron required. :-)

I have some black NOS handles @ £7.50 each. post extra... can take to Stoneleigh. Not sure if they fit all of the wooden radio battery boxes... certainly they were ok for the 12v ones I had.

Yes please Chris. Could you also advice about the lifting handles? This picture clearly shows a leather strap, yet mine has the four holes each side. Ron
