I can see the potential.
6V batteries are hard to find and expensive.

Nice bug

good luck with it.
Motorcycle shops used to be a good source of 6V batteries. But surely anything can be ordered if people are willing to help

Nice, looks like mine just a little worse for rust.

Why not try revive the battery. I managed to get mine up again after 20 years of standing and being dead as a dodo. See my thread somewhere on this forum. Think it was under technical. Will also have a look.
Found it.

Vonde batteries in Maitland stock the Varta 6v battery, but you are going to be horrified at what they cost now.....

Wow that is worse than what I am busy sorting out
I am guessing lots and lots of papers and police station visits declaring everything. Will try one of my friends and see what they can come up with.
