You know Lucas Electrical Systems?

I became a personal friend of every tow truck driver in my area due to Lucas.

I also learned how to make the carb work and drive on only the battery.

The battery was behind the drivers seat.

My 71 Spitfire had the battery on a shelf built into the fire wall. Eventually the battery acid would eat a hole in the shelf and when it rained the acid would drip thru the hole and any passenger sitting there would get a nice hole in there pant leg. fun car to drive on certain days, but on others yikes. Reminds me of the old joke, Why do the Brits drink warm beer? They have Lucas refrigerators.
