The caps I can make but will cost you $50 a pair delivered. They not cheap because they use a lot of resin compared to my other products and I also don't have time to be pumping out battery caps for everyone who wants a bargain..
The big flat cover you will have to organise yourself. I can give you the name of guy who made mine in QLD which was $45 delivered. I made my first cover out of some plastic I had lying around. It was good for a few years but couldn't handle the heat.
This is the measurements I sent the guy, you will need to check your battery top size.

You then need to get stickers made or purchase and then buy a red paint and a grey paint.
So in the end it gets expensive and takes a bit of time, but I reckon its worth it!

They make a very good battery sticker for HX / LX that I haven't seen anyone else do yet.

They have the pre '75 and post '75 stickers the wrong way around on the website.

No sorry. I got mixed up because they show the later one first. Yours is correct Brad.

Just resurrecting an old thread. I see the Ford boys are taken care of with the Auto-lite battery tops. Still nothing available for GMH by the looks?

There seems to be more places doing the older tar top batteries now. As far as 1970's stuff, there is still only Weskar which is where Mando got his caps from I reckon.
