That's great thanks BRM, much appreciated.

This is what it should look like. I have an original which I copied for my other bikes. It is a lot of work to make.

Thanks, that's really helpful. Could you take some measurements for me? I'm guessing the material is 1x1/8" (25x3mm).

Hello BRM. I'm only just getting around to making my battery carrier and just had a quick question about batter clips. My case came without clips, but I notice that your look like the bottom part has a rod bent up at the ends to go into a couple of holes under the battery "T". My case just has the same shallow depression under the T as on the removable lid.

Thanks

David

Attached is a picture from the Cornucopia website.
If you select Norton, click on the Big 4 model and scroll down, you will see the battery and clips. It shows some good pictures. They also have them but not cheap!

Thanks for the post about the clips BRM. For some reason I stopped getting notifications of new posts.

I started making the battery carrier as per your specs - thank you again. One thing that perplexes me though is what actually holds the battery in place? It appears to just perch on the two metal blocks with nothing preventing it from moving fore and aft. Is this right? Seems like whoever at BSA was tasked with mounting the battery did it on a Friday afternoon after a liquid lunch!

I believe that the battery was rubber mounted on two spikes coming from the blocks into the underside of the tee shape. I used two 5/16 studs from the blocks instead.

Hi have original lucas t shape battery and still hold charge it has two bolts from top from battery that go into battery carrier

[David Samways]

Thanks both - I realised that it was bolted down in some way and did the same as you BRM only with 1/4" bolts. I'll post some pics when I've finished. I'm going to secure the lid with some close fitting internal tabs rather than muck about with clips.
