Is this normal? MGB GT Hole by battery

[sloopeh]

is it normal in an mgb gt for the battery compartment to have no floor in it and be open to the elements?

[wildoliver]

Yes.

That's how mine is.

There should be a lid over the top of the cages to prevent acid vapour soaking back into the cabin from under the seat though, just like mine didn't have.

ok thanks all i was a bit worried when i first saw it!

Worried me too when I was driving my one home from buying it, lifted the rear cusion up to see why I could hear the diff' making such a racket and saw the road passing by underneath on the side where there was now no battery! I have single 12V.

I have since sourced the proper battery cover.

That's just how they are.
