Default Battery Boxes

Having heard nothing on the progress of these repro boxes am now investigating myself...

Am asking one local company today to quote me to produce the following which are being modelled from box type "P&G and E.S.P Co Ltd - 1945 - 6v 100/125AH MK IV" which is correct for the WS9 and WS19:

1) Strap Hinges
2) Bump straps
3) Branding stamps (Caution notice and manufacturer details)

NB - The Manufacturer details will be a ficticious company, the date of manufacture as 1944.

Handles of a similar design are still available commercially so I will not bother with these.

Am also discussing the box construction with a local carpenter to determine basic cost to have the timber cut to required dimensions - these will be hardwood of a timber similar to the originals

Then I should have an idea of cost price and be able to determine if the manufacture of reproductions is likely to be viable.

Drop me a PM if subject to price you'd be interested in any repros.

Thanks

Tim
