question 44 GPW restoration

[Ian L]

Hi Guys almost finished the restoration of my 44 GPW but got a couple of questions.

#1 Should the gearbox/transfur box be the same colour as the engine (grey) or green ?

#2 Should the airfilter and cross over tube etc be Black ? Grey ? or Green ?

#3 Can you get a 12v battery that looks like the origional 6v battery ?

 

Cheers.

Batteries here, I can't remember the model number. Go by measurements.

The battery size is Group 2. In the US 6v Group 2 batteries are $80US, I don't know if you can get a 12V group 2 due to the small size... if you do you may not have a lot of CCAs.
