SNAG ABOUT THE JAGUAR XK150
Sir, Are you able to advise me, or maybe your readers can, how to overcome the very unsatisfactory location of the two six-volt batteries in the XK1 SO? Because of the small storage spaces under and in the wings there is no way of easily topping up the batteries, and
the Only sure way is to remove them each time Are there any modifications which XI( owners have been clever enough to devise so that proper battery maintenance can be carried out?
I recall a car made in Germany which was fitted with a sealed batter: which used some gelatine substance, but have no idea what the make of car was. I have seriously considered re-mounting some of the ancillary equipment to make room for a 12-volt battery in the engine compartment, where ample space is available on the nearside. .Alternatively mounting the spare wheel on the ‘outside )1 the hoot lid and using the existing wheel storage space for a 12-volt battery. Your readers’ help would be welcome.
