My 6V Battery is sitting on a strap about 25m/m wide, welded under the drivers seat, with a Bungee Strap
securing it. (Obviously not original). There are indications that an original box may have been cut away
during previous restoration work.
Apart from this, there is one hell of draft coming through the hole. Help.
When I bought my early RP (reg. 01/02/33) in the seventies it only had - and still has - a couple of 3/4" steel straps to support the battery, which may or may not have been original. The car failed an MOT a few years ago on this and I had to cobble up a plywood box around the battery to get it through. We currently have a customer's April '33 RP here that has an original-looking full box for the battery.
