  • Battery box and hold down needed

    Looking to buy a battery box and hold down for a 55 speedster. See attached picture. The battery box(tray) that I have does not have the triangular side supports nor the inner fender attachment on the left as shown in the picture. Also the size I have is 7 1/8 x 10/1/2. Don't know if this is correct for the car. I tried Studebaker International with no success.

    The six volt ones were different from later 12 volt trays as the batteries were different sizes. What you are running will determine what you use.

      the car was partially dissembled with no battery when purchased. I'm assuming it was 6 volt positive ground. 6 volt batteries come in 2 sizes (C1 and C2). The battery box I'm looking for would fit the C2 6 volt battery. The pictures I included are for 6 volt batteries but I don't have the size of the batteries in the pictures.

        I have one (as pictured) that has been restored and was going back into a Speedster....but the owner of the car bought a second one off of e-bay that he ended up using,....PM Me if You want it.

          Six Volt Studebakers use the Group 1, almost square Battery with (+) Post Inboard and Forward and (-) Post Outboard and Aft.

          I think a C2 ? may be a original size, Group 2 Ford, which is longer than Stude.

          Group 1, 6 Volt Battery = 9 In. X 7 In.

          Group 24, 12 Volt Battery = 12 In. X 6.5 In.

          All Studebakers except '63 Avanti and Diesel Trucks use one or the other.

          I have never heard of the "C" Sizes.

            Is it 63 Avantis, or early 63s ?

              With all the running changes on Avantis, a '63 can be a '64 and vice versa, so no one needs to even care.

              What matters is Avantis with Long 3EEE Batteries are not Group 24, like other 12 volt Studes.

              This is a very good example of how Strings get WAY off topic for no good reason, who cares?

                    Mr. Palma will be happy about this! Speaking of Mr. Palma, I've haven't noticed any posts from him in the past several days. Is he doing okay?

                          I thought by now everybody would know that a battery hold down isn't necessary.....

                            63 R2 Hawk,, Thought this forum was a place to go to get help and to help others. Not a place for someone to let everyone know that they are smarter than anyone else. I guess Studebaker used battery hold downs just for the heck of it. Who would have guessed????
