No that would not work - my car is RHD and despite being fitted with the correct "American" style long thin and high battery originally (which would have covered the hole) -very early on in it's life that would have been discarded and the traditional "British" style battery put in as the "American" style would not be available in Rhodesia where the car began it's life.
The original long thin shaped battery tray now has a different tray over it to accommodate the U.K style battery which being less in height does NOT cover the hole or indeed sit snugly up against the hole as the original would have done.
Any more thoughts on this welcome.
Cheers Michael
