'29 Ford Roadster battery access

[Roadrunner]

I know that the standard location for the battery was under the body, but how was it accessed?

Thanks a bunch,

Kevin

Through a door in the floor pan.

On the drive side, correct? I guess the carpet covers that?

I'm trying to figure out how far I want to take the wiring on a '29 pickup that I'm currently working on, and battery cables to the starter will most certainly need to be added, if it's to look even remotely correct.

Under the front seat.

As a Model A owner, I can tell you it's under your feet. There is a metal panel that allows you access if you want to top up the fluid level but you have to take the floor board right out to get the battery out of there.

Excellent. Thanks, fellas, I appreciate the input.

That's excellent. Thanks a bunch, JC.

The correct ground cable should be a flat copper strap.

Excellent. I'll try to keep that in mind if I ever do a stock '29. (I'm currently working on the Monogram '29 pickup, and trying to determine how far I want to go with the wiring, if at all.)
