resurrecting this thread.
My 50 yr old battery box finally disintegrated into shards of plastic.
I reviewed with IA about going battery box-less with sealed battery. His concern, battery explosions can still happen with those. Best to have at least some attempt at containment of the battery. We discussed
"owner produced part". But lazy me I gave it one last effort to find an already built replacement. So I went on the hunt again for battery box. I finally found one at a reasonable price, brand new.
Premier Aero Services (web address: premieraerostore.com) phone 1-866-865-1262 makes the battery box. Again, reasonably priced.
I am an E model 337 so this should apply to E and before. (I think battery box changed style with later models-don't quote me on that.)
I have attached pictures. Nice to have a brand new one that fits without the hassle of trying to make something not designed work.
