I've searched the forums, parts book and WW website, but couldn't find the answer.

I've got this NOS battery strap, can anyone please tell me what years it would be correct for? It looks like the strap used on late fifties busses, but other than that I have no idea. Would it be correct up to '67, when the battery clamp was introduced?

The length of the metal piece is 47,5cm.

Here are some pictures, thanks for looking!

If this is the same one, it's for up to '66 buses.

Bus Part # 211-915-305A/B (per Replacement Parts Catalog-A per April '58; B per later Catalog), although WW uses the Type 1 part number, 113-915-305. No dimensions mentioned, however.

not for an early Zwitter, they had holes on both ends to bolt to the pan.
