TR 6 battery (John Summers , Fri 10:03 PM)
To:

I need advice on how to keep the battery acid OFF the paint under the
hood (bonnet). When I needed a voltage regulator it boiled over much
but that has been replaced. Yes, it's hot here in Florida, but I
shouldn't have (this much) acid escaping the battery. I have a plastic
battery tray. Also,,,it's tight between the engine and the firewall;
any ideas on how to get in there to clean it off & paint it? Are there
any acid resistant paints out there?
Also, there is a nice article in "Classic And Sports Car"
magazine -
June '99 about bringing TR 6s up to a more modern state of
performance,,,,,probably $10,000 or $15,000 worth of improvements there;
my wild guess.
By the way my TR 6 is at the carpictures.com site. French Blue '74.
The Yellow Spitfire redesigned by Picasso used to be mine before my 18
year old took care of it!!
