Which raises a tangental question. I remember reading on the List some time
back, that modern self-contained batteries don't leak acid like the old capped
resevoir kind. Nevertheless, coming from that era, I'm condition to worry
unless I have a plastic battery tray to protect the metal battery container on
the TR3. I can't seem to find one of these. JC Whitney had one, but OOS.
For probably no other reason than my piece of mind, I have an ugly patch of old
innertube filling the gap.
Anybody know where plastic trays are available?
