Nudged by the bearded wizard, and the need for a little more information, I thought I'd ask if Ruby owners could please share a photo or two and a little information about their battery box.
My battery box had a large hole hacked out, folded back and no lids . The leaky battery ate a hole in the scuttle and finished off my Browning's Battray BT4...
About 10 years ago I bought a battery box from a mk2 Ruby and hid it at the back of the garage. Given the need to reach for the welder, I thought it might be useful to graft it in.
Firstly, have batteries shrunk? The cable cut out for the -ve terminal is an inch too high.
Also how is the battery clamped. The speedo cable is potentially in the way.
I'm starting to understand the big hole...
