New battery door arrived from John Ulrich - very good piece, and great service as well.
I know the factory didn't seal the battery box lid in anyway, or at least I think I know that, but has anyone put something to seal the lid to prevent any fumes or battery off-gassing from entering the passenger compartment?
My next project is locating the battery shutoff switch. I wanted to put it just forward of the battery, under the lip of the seat, but it looks like the structural wood would preclude. I know JW mounted it on the firewall or near the starter, but I would rather have it in the passenger compartment. I am thinking I'll clamp it to the lower portion of the steering column or try to locate it under the dash. I want to minimze extra cable run and hide it as best as possible. I would prefer to interupt the ground side wire, but location may make that infeasible.
