Subject: Re: Battery advice for LG45
Hi David,
Z4166 is a completely different style of reference, possibly an earlier iteration of the ones for the V12, as your dimensions aren't markedly different to mine.
I sent you an email from your profile on here, did you receive that? I aimed to include a scan of a 1940 Lucas battery advert, which depicts a battery with holes in the casing edges which I suspect the centre battery retaining bar would engage with. Interestingly, the battery is shown without a cover, so presumably Lucas had stopped supplying these, perhaps as a nod to wartime necessities. That said, I have one of these covers, a good inch or more deep. It would be great to see a period photo of the batteries in late 30s Lagondas! If you didn't receive my email, you can find mine in the Register, email and I'll respond.
