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?
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.

Nice one gcburdic you found it, and it has to be said that's real nice work from avysittinon22s. But i'm after a smooth look somewere I can rest a can of beer when i'm under the Bonnet..I mean Hood, must think in American...Gawd Dam! ahh that's better. Well after a long boring Google UK search...guess what? http://www.espdesign.co.uk/p250360/S...duct_info.html 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.
