looking for one last year, it appeared they were NLA. If any one knows <br>
where they can be had, I sure would like to know. Somebody also sold a <br>
kit with just the Lucas raised panel and replacement caps to add to a <br>
modern battery, but they also appear to be NLA. There were a lot of <br>
different Lucas battery sticker designs - curiously the one offered by <br>
XKS was never used on a Jaguar I don't believe, and don't know if it's <br>
correct for a Tiger. I need to poke through my TBON to see if there are <br>
any pictures of an original battery.<br>
