their from the same manufacturer or is there a difference  between Moss and

I've measured it and my battery-box  is both an inch longer and almost an
inch wider than the liner's dimensions  given in the catalog, does that mean 
it
won't fit right?

I bought a new one from TRF years ago. I think it was to replace an  earlier 
one. Neither one had a drain hole in them. I never saw a drain hole in  one. I 
didn't put a drain hole in mine and it hasn't been a problem, probably  
because I don't drive in a lot of rain. I have seen a smal amount of water  inthere 
before, usually when I wash the engine. The battery box is pretty well  
protected from rain ingress by the scuttle.I do have a clear drain from the  
battery box ( the one welded into the car) and I make sure that drains freey. I  
have my inner liner sitting on some thin pieces of fiberglass strip so if water  
does get between the liner and the body it can drain. It was likely a waste of 
 time though.

I have used a rag before to wipe it out-but that's usually when i  removed 
the battery for a general cleanup.

Dunno. probably either one is  fine.

It seems to me like it insures it will fit!
