[Nobbc] Help with Ron's car, please?

[craigw at sonic.net]

 Good morning, Greg. I used a Group 26 12V battery in my old MGB. It fit
that compartment as long as one trimmed off the plastic ears on the
battery. Good luck!

 Hello Friends,

 Candy, Ron's widow, is now ready to let Ron's car go, but needs a little
 help. The first thing, is getting it running, which Candy thinks may
 just be that it needs a new battery. I've suggested to Candy that the
 car be converted from two 6 volt batteries to one 12 volt battery, if it
 hasn't already, but it's been quite awhile since I worked on an MGA or
 MGB. Can anyone tell me and Candy which 12 volt batteries are available
 that will fit one of the 6 volt battery compartments, and provide some
 sources?

 Also, a few members had previously offered to help get the car running
 and perhaps cleaned up for sale. I can help with that, but am traveling
 this week and part of next, then visiting my parents the second week of
 October, so my time is limited. Also, it would be best if one of us who
 is familiar with MGAs and is mechanically adept were to volunteer, in
 case it needs tuning, but any help would be appreciated, I am sure.

 Candy wants to make the car available first to any NOBBC member that may
 be interested, but hasn't zeroed in on a price yet. I've been reviewing
 sales of MGAs in similar condition on eBay and elsewhere, but again, the
 car needs to be cleaned and assessed to come up with a fair value.

 If you are willing and able to help, please respond to Candy directly
 at: mizsarah1948 at sonic.net [1] and copy me so I can stay in the loop.

 Thanks very much,

 Greg Tatarian
