Hey Gents,
Sorry about my lack of communication... major life changes happening with me and had to go dark for a bit. I'm going to try and pick back up but I'm not sure I'll get
to everybody. I still have my list that I was whittling away at a while ago, i just can't guarantee that I'm going to get to everyone. I'm sorry. I'll see what I can do but I really appreciate the support and feedback with this project. And I apologize for not getting back to everyone who PMs me or messages me on Facebook, it just gets to be a lot.
Hope everyone is doing well

Announcement!


Mifflinburg Body & Gear Ltd. Co. entered into an agreement to purchase in whole Robert's battery cover enterprise. 2 days ago to my home arrived nearly 100 lbs of original battery cases, casting masters, molds, instructions and the customer list of those still waiting. In the next couple of weeks we will be working diligently to cast and ship cases to those who have been waiting patiently. I've begun contacting you. Look for a PM from Rustman or an email from Admin@G18Parts.com depending. We will be honoring the price set by Robert for the outstanding orders.

Simultaneous to this we are also doing a lot of R&D, exploring alternative methods and materials. Robert has done an incredible amount of work and we invested heavily into that. But we want to go the next step. We have our ideas but want to hear from you as well. We would like to hear from owners of Robert's cases and learn what you had to do to get from an Optima battery and one of these cases sitting on your bench to a running electrical system in your MB or GPW. And for those who want Auto-lite and Delco we haven't forgotten you.

Awesome news!

Matt,

Bobby did an awesome job and I have his Willard's in all 3 of my MB's.

The flexibility of the case is important to fit the Optima.

His quality was excellent so as long as you stay true to that the buyers should be happy.

If there is an area for improvement for me it would be the varied thickness of the top. Once I evened that out it I kept reducing it until I had the proper post exposure for the Optima.

I cut a styrofoam block to make the wedges inside the case to stop the Optima from moving around and sealed the top with black RTV.

Finally, I used Testors "Sunburst Orange" to paint the the Willard details on the case.

You can PM me if you want more details from my experience.

Again, thanks to Bobby for making this missing detail available to us.

Good Luck,
Peter
