Title: Picture of battery box
Post by: Robert Cassin on August 18, 2017, 03:47:00 PM: Hi All, Does anyone have a picture of the battery box with the side armour removed? and the battery removed? My M 3 has 2 battery boxes and I am trying to get it back to its WW 2 format.

If you need a better photo of the battery tray w/o the generator I can move it and get another photo on Monday. If you need replacement panels I would try contacting steve-0 on this forum. He has many take off parts available.

Post by: Robert Cassin on September 07, 2017, 07:02:21 PM: That helps a lot. I am missing the small section/plate that is to the right, the left side of the battery box. Is this a hard plate to get? Thanks for all the help , Rob
