Battery Cover?

Just wondering if anyone knows who supply's a stainless steel batttery cover? I did see a picture of one posted here a while back fitted to a battery in one of our trucks it had the Bowtie engraved on it, and painted in blue.

Thanks.

Re: Battery Cover?

It's a conspiracy, you all really know the answer but you won't tell the British guy, Huh?

Re: Battery Cover?

I have made battery boxes out of 1/4" tinted plexiglass and made them to fit around the box with the lid being removable for access.

Re: Battery Cover?

Last year I was looking for something other than the side post style that summit sells and never found one. I made a top cover from a sheet of mirrored plexiglass and added a blue bowtie emblem in the center.

Thanks Leon, That is essentially it, I just wished they made it without the cut-outs for the terminals.

I'm surprised I found this over here, I always tend to look to the US for stuff before I check my own backyard.
Thanks again guys.
