Personally I think the Series section doesn't get enough use so have decided to ask a few of those silly questions that bug me about my series, but that never seem to crop up on the forum.

Question 1.................

Underneath the vehicle, just behind the passenger seat area is the remains of a box shap piece of steel welded to the underside. I assume that it is original, but what is it supposed to have been for?

Not sure that it is a battery holder althouth it is about the right shape. There is a battery holder in the engine bay on the drivers side that looks original.

Is it for a supplimentary battery?

There ain't a panel to lift! I have a panel under the passenger seat (with tools in) but this is behind and protuding underneath the vehicle. It's heavily rusted now!

Yeah, a photo of it with the caption of ' what's this for' would be better. I'll try to remember to take one!

That would have been a stowage box, accessed originally from under the seat

Looks like mine has just been welded over then from the top. Not surprising really though looking at the state of it now. Question is, do I really need to reinstate it? Would be more original, but there seems plenty of space under the seat for tools etc anyway.

well it would be more origonal, but you have got enuf space already, and would take a bit of cutting and welding to do that. if i was you i would just cut it of with the recipicator (or angle grinder, whatever is easiest)
