3D Printed Ford Battery Case Help

[WarbirdPhotog]

Hey all! After being frustrated with the lack of anyone making the 1940 Ford battery case anymore for the Red top Optima, and the Battery Central Mall 1940 Ford battery being SO expensive and a half year lead time... I decided to design and print the case myself. It's going to be a difficult task, but I want something that I can easily replace the Optima if something goes wrong but retains as close to the original style as possible.

I'm just getting started with it, but have made some really great progress thanks to Mike Kube (author of the incredible 'It's 40 for Ford' book). Using the photos in his book, the measurements he sent me along with some supplemental photos of other reproduction cases... here's what I have for the cover so far:


But I need some help from anyone who has one of the newer production Optima Red Top batteries (which I've heard are taller than the earlier ones). I'm looking for the measurements listed below in the photo so I can construct the battery in 3D to make sure my case design will fit.



Any photos of an original 1940 battery would also be really helpful as well! I'll try and keep this thread going with my progress over time building the 3D model, and then the printing and construction.
