As far as the batteries made in India go, I have been using them in my 48 Chief and 40-4 for many years. What I do to help reduce, not cure, the leaking issue is before adding any acid I use clear 5 minute epoxy where the posts come out of the body. Seal them neatly and let that harden overnight and then fill to proper level with acid. Charge them up and I usually will get anywhere from 3-5 years out of them. After a ride I always unplug them as I use a slide plug on the wire. If anyone has any that have never had acid in them, I would be interested in purchasing them.

How many you want, D.A.?Originally posted by D.A.Bagin View Post
They'd be a lot cheaper to pick up at Davenport!

Good question, Jim!Originally posted by jlammers View Post
I've a dead Dixie waiting to be butchered; The ebonite case is actually flexible, so I must build a wooden support case before I attempt to mill it out.
Unless there's a better way... .. . .

All GREAT stuff Jim;
(I need to try and make me one of them C2K dipsticks.)
IMO I would take your time; get your Chief running and see what you
have. Then you can rebuild your oil pump if needed.
Full disclosure:
Once I got my 46 up and running I purchased a core iron pump and had it rebuilt as detailed by DEEBS above and then installed it after riding season.
Actually I have a second rebuilt pump stored in a water-tight metal ammo can immersed in AFT against the day, (but then mental illness runs in my family) LOL.
ENJOY the process. All the Best.Comment
