1911 Torpedo question

Post by tom_strickling » Wed Jan 04, 2023 7:59 pm

Here's a question for Torpedo owners. My 1911 Torpedo has a hole under the driver's seat with a wooden box hanging down from it. It is about 6 inches square and 8 deep. The former owner had a small "power sports" battery in it to provide power to the coils. Is this "battery box" original or was it added later?
Thanks.
