The Moss catalog shows different part numbers for the tonneau for those 
cars.

Subject: [Mg-t] Lucas/Optima batteries
Message-ID: <4990375C.4060906@comcast.net>

This came from the Austin-Healey list but may be helpful since some T 
series cars take type 27 batteries:

Antique Battery Supply in Ohio now supplies the best of both worlds as 
far as I'm concerned. I recently purchased one of their absolutely 
accurate Lucas style moulded Group 27 batteries with all the correct 
details for a BJ8 restoration, but they have an Optima battery sealed 
inside the moulded Lucas case. The battery has a 10 year Optima 
warranty, there is no fussing with an acid battery, no topping up, no 
gassing, etc. Unscrew any of the Lucas filler caps and there's the 
bright orange Optima unit inside! Of course lots of warning tags and 
literature about not adding acid or water to this case!
Rich Chrysler


Another lister had more info:

The only site on the Web that I can find is "Antique Auto Battery" in Ohio at 
www.antiqueautobattery.com, but they list only lead acid batteries (although 
the banner on their home page says "Ask us about our maintenance free sealed 
batteries").
Is this the place? If not, do you have the contact info for the supplier 
you're talking about?
John New


*And the response*:

*That's the place. Sorry I misquoted their name. As they state, ask them 
about their maintenance free sealed batteries.

This is a website for a company that recently purchased a 2 story
warehose full of NOS auto parts. Appears to be mostly vintage Lucas
from the 1950s to the 1980s.  You can go on the website and see
pictures of what they have inventoried so far. If you want something,
you send you them an e-mail and they will list it on EBAY. Some of
the parts are already listed on EBAY.

You may want to pass this on to the British car clubs/folks you know.
