I'm working on the battery box of a 1949 D2, there are three holes that were unoccupied when I acquired the machine. Can anyone tell me what originally went in this spot, if anything? I thought there may have been an electrical disconnect installed at one time but the parts manual doesn't show anything like that. Any information would be helpful,thanks

Hi All
Thae top 3 holes are used for the starter button and to allow the cable to connect from batt to switch as shown in the photos. I had a new box made for when the R4 come home from its holiday in the USA.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
