Had a crack at making a suitable 12v battery container this weekend
Firstly I covered one of my Lucas figlass replica brit batt boxes with leather
Then got some brass tile edging from work & set about converting it into decorative scrollwork on my router table
Riveted it together with 8 brass corners ,8 brass angles , a couple of hinges , a Lucas badge & some copper paint & viola, one steampunkish battery box......

    Only some of this build uses actual veteran bike parts including a much modded 1926/7 Triumph frame, real Brooks saddle & Albion gearbox, so follow this blog & find out what all this is for.,all will be revealed.........
