RE: [Honda-C70] Re: WTB Certain parts for 1982-83 Passport

In the DRATV site go to the left column & click on Custom & Engine swap parts . Scroll down near the bottom to "Trick battery box for 12v engine conversions"
That should be what Mike referred to so you can use a "common " battery cover rather than the " rare " 82/83 cover. Good Luck! Baby Huey

Thank you Mike for all of this great info. I have searched on dratv.com and I have not located the UK style battery holder you speak of. Could you, or anyone reading this, provide me with a direct link please?

Thank you very much.
