Thanks, i went and looked for Ulrich site -
http://julrichpackard.com/battery.htm I see he lists two depths - 1935-1942 Battery Box
Unlike the originals made of 24 gauge, these reproductions are made of 20 gauge steel. You have two choices of depth. The originals were 6 3/4" inches, and I make a deep 7 1/4" box. The newer batteries tend to be a bit taller and sometimes could make contact with the cover when used with the original part. Specify standard or deep when ordering.
$35.00
I will go measure what my existing box depth to try and understand this matter. I am pretty sure my existing box has upturned ends to best contain the battery. I wonder why the Ulrich box does not have same? I would think mine is OEM as i am the second owner of this 36 and it has low mileage.
Anyway, grabbing a tape measure........
thanks
Craig
