XK120 OTS battery box dimensions needed

Greetings all:

A PO of my early 1951 XK120 OTS enlarged the battery box openings to accommodate two modern 12V batteries. The box structures themselves are missing - just two large holes in the battery deck. I will need to fabricate a new deck and new boxes and I would like them to be original dimensions. So, I will need to know the location and opening size of the holes in the deck as well as the dimensions of the boxes themselves. Is anyone willing to take a tape measure to theirs and get these numbers for me?

Thanks.

Tim

One of mine hasn’t been changed. '53 OTS:

5.75" deep.
7.75" front to back.
7.5" wide.
5/8" flange setting the opening 1.5" to the rear.
The opening to the outboard wheel housing is 6.5".
The opening if flush to the rear bulkhead.

Interesting detail at the front corners.

Thanks Mitchell and Nickolas. That’s exactly what I needed

You’re welcome, Tim. There’s a wealth of information in the archive, though sometimes it takes some digging to find what you’re looking for. A faint memory of an old thread helps.
