Q & A: Lucas Battery Caps

John; I have acquired a set of dry NOS Lucas 6 volt batteries, these are black cased and not current production red-mid 70's I am guessing. The terminals are drilled to use Lucas Helment head connectors. They are perfect EXCEPT one is missing the red bar cap that covers all three cell ports. Do you think that you might come up with a couple of these in used albeit nice condition so as to have a spare and make this set of batteries functional? The car is rolling along-I just found an NOS SHELLY jack for it while rummaging through a dealer buyout of Triumph parts. My Minilites are being painted to match the Works Old EnglishWhite hardtop and all of the major projects are out of the shop so the car can soon go on a rotisserie. The welding is pretty much done with the exception of the battery boxes. The original owner had cut these out and fitted a 12V in the boot on the passenger side to distribute weight better when he autocrossed the car. I will convert back to the original set up but retain the hand-made Koni conversion as that is easily retrofitted to Armstrongs.

Tony!
I'll bet that something comes up on eBay. I've printed out your msg and if I have something at the shop I'll let you know.
How can you leave those Koni shocks on a car you're trying to make so original?
