Now this is ridiculous!!!!!!!

Just called one of the big suppliers of the Autolite Sta-ful batteries used in restorations.

I wanted to buy a new set of battery caps to spruce up an old Autolite battery which will used for display purposes.

Well,
unless I bought one of their batteries within the last 2 years and

can show a receipt/proof of pruchase and

from one of their approved sources,

they won't sell me any caps.

So if I had a battery less than 2 years old and had lost a battery cap (I've heard of people stealing them at car shows) but had no receipt, I'd be out of luck.

They suggested I buy a new battery.

Now that is ridiculous!!!!!!!!

My strategy in cases like this is to call back a day later. Unless they have only one customer service rep, you'll get a different person on the phone whose response may be entirely different. Works some of the time for me, anyway.

I have a set of six red, that are on a dead autolite battery. They could be yours. SPF # 2773 Jerry

or just go to the (any) parts store or battery shop and look at there pile of take outs----
