Good question. It previously had a 51 with a lip but I like the dimensions of a 45 and if it has a lip, I'll be good. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Correct. Little 'feet' clamping down on the lips on the battery. Hence, the reason for my original question. I'd love to just recreate the lip on the battery, having some decent strength to hold the battery down. I came close using several band clamps and positioning them so the worm/screw...

^^^^ That's pretty much what a marine installation is. This is my current plan. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E3ALEKI/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Side mount battery is a possibility. The trunk is pretty small and I don't want to risk something shorting across the terminals. It's all a...

It's a Lotus Elan with the battery in the trunk, on the far left side. The battery is a type 51. The curvature of the body makes it nearly impossible to tighten any hold down (at the top) at the part of the battery facing rearward. I'd love to do something to like the metal frame around the...

Unfortunately, there's no room at the top of the battery for traditional hold downs so I've decided to go the marine route, that being a plastic tray with a strap. The tray gets bolted down to the car structure and the strap goes under the tray and around the battery. I do like the box idea...

I have a couple of older cars whose batteries are held down with clamps (OEM) onto a lip at the bottom of the battery. It's becoming very difficult now to find the batteries today with a lip. I'd imagine it's just plain cheaper to manufacture the battery without the lip. Which leads me to the...

I like those! It keeps getting better, thanks!

Yep, 4 x 6 band saw. The links are perfect. I'll give Grizzly a call on Monday. Thanks! I like the block idea, too.

Hello, I recently purchased an older HF bandsaw and got it working pretty well. The one thing I wish it had, that is on later versions, is the angle scale. HF says they don't carry them. It is #170 in the exploded view. Does anyone know where I can get one? Or, does anyone have an HF...

Here are local guys who may be able to help. https://www.facebook.com/homes4carguysatlanta/

Here is my 1947 Baldor 6" bench grinder. This thing is so smooth that it takes a bit over 2 minutes to come to a stop after shutting off.

Good info, thanks. The estate sale ends Sunday and I'll check it out further. Current asking price is $650!!! No way.

Thanks guys.

I somewhat agree. Even HF band saws have some parts availabilty and dozens of youtube videos on repairing and fixing issues.

Hmm, that could be good or bad. Thanks
