MG TD TF 1500 - Battery Decal

After second failure of expensive Antique Auto Battery, I'm going to go with Optima/Tar Topper. Moss has minimum $10 order, Triple-C closed and moving, and I need a Lucas decal (one of the older style ones) by next weekend. Does anyone have one to sell/loan? Thanks, George

George -

I made Lucas battery decals for my Advance Auto Parts battery based on Lucas ads from the mid-50s. Yes, the battery retainer covered the logo in the original ads and Lucas docs like it does on my battery. A local vinyl sign shop cut them for me. Price was higher than other decals that the shop had made for me in the past.

May not be what you need for your TarTopper. However if you want them, the shop can cut them in one day in any color. Takes a couple of days for you to receive them by mail.

George;
You could make one, using Word, that would suffice for now.

Here is one I threw together.
According to the archives the Lucas should be red.
This is about 8-5/8" high and a couple od inches wide.

I used an "Arial Rounded" fount 120 Point..
I could be almost any height.

I can send you a JPG or PDF or .docx if you want.
I would print on Photo paper.

Steve, They were from the Antique Auto Battery Co. in Ohio. I'm guessing three years tops? The first one gradually died, the last one worked fine one day and dead the next. Charging system tested and perfect voltage/output.
