Hi Tony,
By all means you can use the photos.

I chalked the rivet hole areas yesterday and was able to find the ground flush rivets and pop them out. (See attached). That gives me a pretty good idea of the correct overall dimensions assuming the tabs are 1/2" wide as originally given to me, and the rivets are spaced down the centerline of the tabs as they appear to be in photos.
I have revisited the photos I recieved over a year ago and have tweaked a few measurments of the battery holder. The notch at the sides is 5-7/8" from the base when I zoomed in. (see attached).
My old draughtsman eye thinks maybe the sloping front of the sides is exactly 45 degrees. (a nice convenient line for the designer to draw with the 45-45 triangle) Would you be able to check it for me if you have a protractor or square? The measurements I was given comes in close but not exactly 45 degrees.
One other question. What is the thickness/gauge of the sheet metal? Looks pretty thin. The photos look like it is only about 2 mm (14 ga)
Brgds,
