looks like a genuine Autolite battery when cover is fitted

Not something you need, but it does look good when detailing the engine compartment.

Fits perfectly.

Battery cover

Works great. With a plain sided battery you can't tell it isn't original.

Just like it looks! Or maybe better.

This is a nice cover made from hard but tough plastic. I'd like it better if it was flexible and had the old "hard rubber" feel of a 1968 24F, but this isn't '68, either. Many modern batteries will require mild (under 1/4") massaging of the post holes, and I had my Dremel standing by. Bam, it's on. The red is a tad more vivid than the pictures, and matched my memory of what tehr eal ones looked like.

Looks great

Put this on my NAPA 84 month battery (flat top). Cover is a little bit bigger than the battery itself (it's a BCI# 24F battery), but looks really nice and even includes the little tag for the positive terminal. Nice way to use a modern battery but hide that fact to the casual observer.

Not totally sure about this, but....

I saw a few cars with these at a car show. At first, I thought it was really dumb, when it wasn't hard to tell that it was a "fake" top for your battery. Just as a matter of principle, I like things as original looking as possible. Ultimately, I chose to put this on one of my several cougars. It is very good for what it is. I still am not sure I like the idea. For now, it is on the car and the price was certainly reasonable. At worst, it is an inexpensive experiment.
