OT - Fintail Battery Frame Now Installed
« on: March 27, 2010, 20:48:45 »
Some of you who saw my fintail at PUB last year commented on the missing battery frame and the poor washer bottle stuck over by the brake booster.  I couldn't bring myself to step up to $268 from Mercedes for the part, but I am happy to report that Joe Alexander came through with a well-used frame.  After several discussions with Interstate, I found a top-post battery of roughly correct dimensions.  Before and after in pictures.

Thanks to Joe for the help.
