 Right, as its created a bit of interest. I sold one on ebay a few weeks ago for £40 and now a guy in Italy has offered me £50 to make a box just slightly smaller for him ...  Theres alot of people on e-bay that wont sell stuff to Italians  .....  I think its because stuff never arrives / goes missing in the post ...allegedly http://community.ebay.co.uk/topic/International-Trading/Posting-Italy/1100080560?start=144 ..  Hagar  ..     |

 Was,nt sure which way to go with this one. Its easy to make,but i cocked up slightly with the bolts being to small.I can fix that tomorrow though.The other way of holding the battery down would be with a rubber band,with a small tab welded to the back n front of the tray.That battery size is 90mm high and 70mm deep.  |

 No, that's nice, but I'm thinking of a 4 sided tray the battery sits in, coming up about a third of the height of the battery, & held with a buckled leather strap over the top & rivetted to the tray sides. PD's taken on the build of my XS650 & is putting his own mark on it, but that's the style we've discussed.
