Yes, you are correct from the battery manufacturers standpoint.  By using another battery source, the case no longer needs to be manufactured to battery standards. Infact, it does not even need to be assembled.  We already have fake battery tops!  How much trouble can it be to convert that design to fit a box. 

The tops are not correct for assembly line battery is the one we're discussing the need for - the service replacement (wrong/different casting and size)  reproduction is available


The first generation cars have a couple options on repro batteries.  The third generation has no options and no hope of anything materializing in the foreseable future.

There are no options other than the current incorrect battery for the 65-67's believe that is what we're discussing - we seem to have not included that point in this discussion/thread since we've discussed and shown pictures in past threads  then continued it here ;)
