1933-34 battery box
here are pictures of a new battery box ( I bought from drake when he stoped making new batterys ) I used as a PLUG for mold so as I could make fiberglass battery box.
Picture #6 12 v battery in my 1933 roadster in my box #1 what you see from under (1934 4 door ) #2 my box (gold) next to drake box #3 what you have to do to original battery box (drake) to fit optma battery #4 optma battery in (drake ) battery box #5 optma battery in my battery box NOTE : this is an old optma battery . I think the new ones are taller now. I now change my 1933-34 fords to 12v batteries. (WHY ? ) I have more than one car. the cars start better ---better lights---I buy reconditioned and new eceno power batteries ( between $45 & $75 ) very easy to change to 12 v (I use original generator with cut out-- generator charges 12v battery just fine ) I drove my 1933 roadster to grand national meet in 1983 (and many other meets ) I use original coil ( I just add a resistor to original resistor) I use 65 mustang resistor (must keep it FORD ) change all light bulbs easy to change back --- + or - ground --- I keep battery tenders on most of the time.

Re: 1933-34 battery box
Here is a good place for your optima battery. Make a little box
with vent holes. This box can also be mounted on the frame near the starter, if I find the picture I will post it. G.M.

Whizzernick, that is a great looking duplicate, what is the height of your box? Sadly, I have a 1937 that used the shorter battery and the top would be exposed.
