TRF's?
I've measured it and my battery-box is both an inch longer and almost an
inch wider than the liner's dimensions given in the catalog, does that mean
it
won't fit right?

I haven't yet ordered a new battery-box liner from TRF or Moss. I wonder if

I bought a new one from TRF years ago. I think it was to replace an earlier
one. Neither one had a drain hole in them. I never saw a drain hole in one. I
didn't put a drain hole in mine and it hasn't been a problem, probably
because I don't drive in a lot of rain. I have seen a smal amount of water
inthere
before, usually when I wash the engine. The battery box is pretty well
protected from rain ingress by the scuttle.I do have a clear drain from the
battery box ( the one welded into the car) and I make sure that drains freey. I
have my inner liner sitting on some thin pieces of fiberglass strip so if water
does get between the liner and the body it can drain. It was likely a waste of
time though.
(Does one need to scoop rainwater out of their bb because it lacks a hole in

I have used a rag before to wipe it out-but that's usually when i removed
the battery for a general cleanup.
I also wonder if their from the same manufacturer or is there a difference
between Moss and
TRF's?
Dunno. probably either one is fine.
I've measured it and my battery-box is both an inch longer and almost an

It seems to me like it insures it will fit!
