Przemek M Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Most likely you are looking for battery hold down, part no. 5165. Available from Boos Herrel boos.herrel@gmail.com Regards Przemek M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl456 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 I have hold down. I am looking for the reproduction battery cover. I think the 47 had “Lincoln” on the side and earlier had “Zephyr” script. Anybody have pictures? I could probably use a template and. Reproduce the graphics. This battery is prevalent in the engine compartment,I’m just not happy with the current appearance. I don’t like the fresh air hose either but I can’t change that , Thanks, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I don't know a source for a battery cover, but here is a link to buy a reproduction battery. https://www.batterycentralmall.com/Batteries/TurboStart/Lincoln.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl456 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 Thanks Tom, I’ll try and call them. Have you dealt with them before? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 No, I have not and do not know anybody that has. My Lincoln has the battery under the floor and I converted an old Ford script battery by gutting the case and installing an Optima in it for my 40 Mercury.

dl456 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 Thanks again, I called them and believe they may be using Optima as well. He said it was 1000CCA and AGM type battery.Same spec. but did not mention Optima by name. Built to order ,10 week lead time. I’ll let you know if I go that way, Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40ZephSedan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Have your tried Antique Auto Battery Co. in Hudson Ohio? If still in business they made very nice repro cases with LZ teardrop embossed, long lasting gel batteries inside and the Lincoln positive ground in the the proper position for the correct ground strap to the battery box and cylinder.
