Sherman battery boxes are also painted black gloss inside. It is an acid resistant paint though and certainly not rubberised.

A google check shows that coal tar epoxy is still available through various sources. I would suggest though that POR-15 would be a suitable alternative and is supposed to be impermeable to chemicals.
Coal tar epoxy is not exactly rubber, although it will seem a bit flexible for the first stages of it's life.

Just wondering if anyone is able to measure up these two items. I forget who posted the original pictures years ago. Id like to make them up to go in my Wireless Battery box.
Thanks,

The stud is 277mm long. 3/8 dia. 20mm of thread with a taper at the end 5mm long. the thread at the wing nut end needs only to go throught the nut, with enough on top to peen over. (nut and stud are fixed as one)
The bar, I dont have. Its hole centres will be as per where the studs screw into the battery box base.

Well that was quick. One last question, is the threads BSF or something else?

16 tpi. So you can use UNC or BSW (This suprised me, but the shutter knobs are 1/4 UNC/BSW as well)
I have just noticed a small pin through the side of the wing nut, to help lock it to the stud.

I made up a set of these suds today. I just realised I missed your note about the pin through the wing nut. I wrenched mine on pretty tight today then peened over the top. I don't think they will work loose at all.
