Unlike some that have cut the bottom out. I cut the top off to be used as a lid. This also left the whole case intact.
I treadled the post and screwed the post in but may just bolt a cable to them and then onto the new battery inside.
I also epoxied some plastic angle {like angle iron} to hold the top in place but the factory hole down would work. I kinda go past what is needed at times.
I polished the rubber case as seen in the picture with Yellow Caps. And have 2 sets of caps in case I want the 24 to look like a 27 I kinda go past what is needed at times.
I did not use the top post cables used bolts and cables with eyelets on both sides so they did not protrude as much.


I like how you did this but have some questions:
What does the under side of the top look like before you put those posts in there? I think I would rather tap the bottom of the original posts and use double eyelet cables with bolts?

Thanks Ron

Here you go. I have 3 washers to bring the washers even with where the plate was on the post originally.
I left 100 percent of the post and just cut the plate off so I would have more thread. That way the bolts could be in deeper to hold better
Or I can use bolts with eyelets with the cables shown. The washers are adding strength to the soft lead post as well on the side of the post as well as sitting flat on top of the case top
