11 Set stuff

[cletrac (RIP)]

The 18 set dimensions are right. The other ones are for the 1 set and the text said that box is similar to the 11 set one.
Use inch hardwood for the sides and good 1/4" plywood for the top and bottom. Cut the sides at a 45' angle but don't worry about how they cut it back between the screw holes.
When finished and installed on your truck they'd make a good place to store stuff that you don't want anybody to find!
Do you have a picture of the angle iron thing that holds them in place?

Apart from the line drawing in post 531. This is all I have. Cheers Ron
PS I've no idea why they're not produced as thumbnail pictures, so just click on the attachment if they don't appear.

Ron, are you proposing to make battery boxes?

If it's any help I have two bottom sections of the 18-set battery boxes available. They are completely gutted and missing the lids because a previous owner got a lot of them as surplus, fitted knobs to the side, and used them for parts drawers.

You'd need to fill extra holes, blank off the 5-pin socket and work out how to fit the WS11 socket to the shell. The internal dividers were wooden. It's the same shell as the WS1 (and 11) battery box because someone had a WS18 box fitted with the earlier lid (which had the designation moulded into it.

They will need a good clean and polish, plus reproduction of the strap fixings, etc.

Let me know if this is useful.

(I have a WS48 battery box which will do for the WS18, and it's unlikely that I would get the bits to resurrect either of these units.)

Chris.

That would be fantastic Chris. Are you still with the same email address? I'll Give you a shout. Best regards Ron

Chris, this picture looks like the lid goes to that red highlite. What are your thoughts on this?

No, the lid covers the entire box (based on somene having a WS18 Static Battery Box with the lid from a WS11 240 volt battery box fitted to it, I suspect the red mark may be to indicate the positive socket (although the plug apparently had different-sized pins to avoid misconnection).

[cletrac (RIP)]

So the lid is just about 1/4" thick?
I put the red highlite on the picture.

Justed arrive by mail two NOS plugs ZA6448 for the WS11. One question about them; where is the chain for that both plugs have it is original but not for ws11 or ws52.

I got the power plug ZA6403 spare willing to swap for three pin one anyone?

Yep! I may have moved (Never Again!), but the email address is the same.

They're not worth anything IMAO, so postage costs only.

Don't want to throw a spanner into the works but where are you going to find the 11 set style sockets and or plugs ? Did the wooden box use the large 10 pin arrangement ? Mike

[cletrac (RIP)]

The battery plugs into the set with a 10 pin plug with an on off switch on it and into the batttery with a 2 pin plug. The LT battery has a Niphan plug.

From Mike Kelly in Australia of course! He's never let me down. Ron

Here's a spare parts box and a remote unit A in the UK.
