I can draw up simple plan and list of material if wanted.

Also if anyone out there has any battery of this size/type or even photos of any I would appreciate pictures of such so I could make more accurate renderings of covers that could be printed.

Not exactly what you were asking for but I took these from a bike I bought last week out of a Delta Torpedo and the pair in the back we're out of another Schwinn I got for the wife. Anytime I find old batteries I spray them with polyurethane and put them in a display case. Nice work on those batteries I save your pictures and instructions if you don't mind for future reference!
