T-6 B Fiberboard Battery Cover
Is it held in place with a rubber strap like the C, hard plastic version? Or is it just pressed on?

Re: T-6 Fiberboard Battery Cover
There were two differnt types, Ed. One actually had clips, the other more common one used the same rubber strap as the windshield washer reservoir.

Re: T-6 Fiberboard Battery Cover
Mike, I am asking about the cover for the battery, not the fusebox cover.

Re: T-6 Fiberboard Battery Cover
Sorry, Ed, I misread your post. The '62 only fiberboard cover...Peter is correct.

Re: T-6 Fiberboard Battery Cover
Here is the one with clips. No you can understand why the cover has those flat spots. ][/attachment][attachment=2[/attachment]Mike Wilson wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2019 12:00 pm There were two differnt types, Ed.

Re: T-6 B Fiberboard Battery Cover
Jim,
Many thanks for posting these pictures. Do you have any idea about what the (DIN?) specification is for the clips? It seems unlikely that Porsche would order or make custom hardware like this.
Thanks,
Ed

All the best!

Re: T-6 B Fiberboard Battery Cover
Mike, on all early T-6 cars. I guess, emphasis on guess, that the clips and fusebox posts were gone by the Spring or early Summer of 1962. My car, made in February of 1962, has them.

Re: T-6 B Fiberboard Battery Cover
I agree with Ed. I don't think they made it to the spring of 62, though.

My friend's early calendar year '62 does not have the clips.
