My battery box is cracked into several pieces. Not worth trying to repair it.
Need a replacement.
Thanks!
Need a battery box for my 1946 C-140.

Saw one on Ebay...posted yesterday as I recall...several photos & looks pretty good. Buy now @ $225 with starting bid of $125 -- like everything aviation related, it's pricey. Mac

Maybe it is worth repairing...

Is it in "several pieces" or does it have cracks in several places?

It has three and four inch cracks running down the sides.
Based on what I have seen, it is not an original C-120/140 battery box, since it does not open along a diagonal line. It is closed all the way to the top, like a C-150 box.

Update:
It is an original battery box with the diagonal hinged opening. The top and bottom plates look great, but all the vertical sheet metal is cracked and broken, as well as the hinges...
