Wow, that must have been a job and a half Chas. Did you get any sparks.

Many thanks Chas. All I need to do now is order the cells.

Cheers.

Karl.

Hi Chas,

GREAT.

Many thanks for all you've done for me. I'm beginning to wonder what I'd do without you.

I won't be able to order the cells until I've got the case in my itching fingers. I need to check the internal measurements before I can go any further.

So I'm sitting on hot coals till it arrives.

Fixing to top shouldn't be much of a problem. I'll be using the original battery cover, and of course the battery carrying harness.

Cheers.

Karl.

Hi Chas,

just come home after reorganising the garage to find a package outside my door. I was wondering what it could be as I haven't ordered anything, makes a change. I then recognised you handwriting, I was wondering what on earth had you sent as the package was small and light. After opening the package I couldn't believe my eyes, it's the Oldham battery case.
I was mislead by the very quick delivery (makes a change), the light weight, and the size, as most of my batteries are a lot larger, and of course a lot heavier.

So many thanks, I'm deep in your dept.[blush] Plus you did a first class job on gutting it.

I've checked the size of the cells and its going to be one hell of a lot of work to get them to fit in. But that's the price you pay for having crazy ideas.

Once again, many thanks Chas.
