Thanks. If you would it might be nice and helpful to post a picture of the end results. Sure it looks just fine and like what every it looked like before the cutting and fitting but a finished shot would just maybe help motivate some additional people to try it.

The last photo is the finished reassembled battery. It looks like it did before I started.

Here it is installed at the recent MCA Grand National show where it was awarded concours trailered gold again.

Did the judges miss that you had the different style earlier battery caps on a 70 Boss battery?

I guess so Bob. It is entered in Concours Trailered not thoroughbred so judged to their written standard ie it is a functional Autolite reproduction 24F - not a 22F that would have originally been installed. What should they be?

Here is the different style cap next to the early cap.
