[TR] bb liner fills up?

I don't see the hole as a requirement.  Whether the box is worthwhile or not
is a separate question; my previous TR3A had one when I got it and it seemed
to work out very well for me.  The "now wrecked" 3A doesn't, and I've had to
attend to corrosion in the battery box several times.  That said, if I were
going to modify one today I would probably line the original box with
fiberglass & epoxy (which is also more acid resistant than steel) and forego
the liner.

I never did, although there were sometimes traces of moisture under the
battery when I had it out for other reasons.  Since both the battery and the
liner were totally water-proof, the water did no harm.

Sorry, no idea.  I would guess they are the same, but I don't know.

I believe that actually means it fits right.  I'd guess the dimension given
is the inside dimension, and the liner is effectively about 1/2" thick (with
the reinforcing ribs).  At any rate, the one I had fit snugly except for
where the original metal was missing or bent.
