Battery corner trim dimensions

[AustrianVespaGuy]

Have a want ad up, but if somebody would be willing to provide me with the dimensions I could probably just print it! Opening i can get from the car but I'm less clear on the mounting points/tabs and such. Thanks!

I believe the piece you seek is just a piece of (semi) flexible black polyethylene about 3 or so mm thick.  You should be able to buy a piece of black poly sheet from a plastics supplier, and I'll bet someone on the FAQ will trace the outline for you so you can cut it out with a sharp box cutter.

Here are the rough dimensions.

Try to find a black plastic box of some sort and use a corner to fashion the cover.

This is the view from the battery side (engine compartment).

John's drawing looks pretty spot on to what is in my car (a 74) maybe what Jerry has is from an earlier car or? Regardless, it seems like something that would be a good candidate for 3D printing.

Another piece of 2002 trivia!  Both my '69 and 73 have the corner cover that resembles the one in Jerry's picture, so perhaps the more sophisticated moulded piece in John's picture is what was fitted to squarelights?  Never knew there were two different ones!

Yes the corner described by John76 is for a Square tail  

Megasquart  I have one in my boxes of parts  I think you must be trying to seal up the nose for better forced airflow thru something Yes ?
