Ady Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Baught a universal battery cover of ebay - purley because it had a nice SUPRA logo cut out of it. I new what I wanted to do before it arrived, and just got arround to doing it today. Firstely, and took me a long time to decide, I measured up theposative and negative locations, and marked them on the cover. Then it was time to go and bye a cirlcular saw - attachment for my drill. Had luckely got a cloe diameter to what i need: Then I made use of an old fishing tackle storage box: Cut it down to cover the SUPRA logo: Washed the plastic, and began the spraying in my fav colour rover blue. Alot of things in my bay, incluing the spark plug cover are going this shily blue color. Finished off the spray - 2 plpastic primer, 2 blue and 2 laquer. Fixed it from the inside of the batt cover facing out - and she now looks like this: Looked so boring with the logo missing and lookin through onto plain black battery Now all i need to do is use the drill to cut out the holes, remove the terminals, pop on the plate and fasten with my new chrome batt clamp. Also need to put on my new gold battery terminals. I cant bleave how little things like this take som much time Ady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Ill dissconect the battery first That's not the issue, it's the metal cover connecting to both terminals and your body that's the problem. Just be very careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady Posted November 11, 2007 Author Share Posted November 11, 2007 That's not the issue, it's the metal cover connecting to both terminals and your body that's the problem. Just be very careful. Hahah thanks for your concern but Ive made the holes about 10mm bigger in diamiter than the plus and minus terminals - if you look closely there is a plastic washer about 3mm in width arround the base of the terminals - with using the battery clamp and double backed tape the cover should not move. Im also going to run a rim of clear silicone arround the gap in between themetal cover and the terminal. With the above provisions, the battery cover, should not ever become live.

colsoop Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Put some electrical tape around the inner part of the circles you have cut for the terminals, if it moves at all at least it will offer some protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
