Guys I am very new to buggies, I have just brought a 73 and found the battery is behind the passenger seat. Is this normal as it stops the seat moving back?
Thanks Gary

Hi Gary,

Glad you found your way in here 

Yes, its quite normal for the Battery to be placed behind the seat (usually drivers side in the UK) - and is the same place that they were originally fitted in the Donor Beetle

Nothing to stop you moving it though, but you may struggle to find a more suitable location   

Most buggies have the battery fitted either into an area moulded into the body behind the right hand seat, or in a fibreglass box sunk into the rear seat/shelf if the body has a smooth rear area.

Welcome Gary.

Any brief details of your '73 or even a couple of pictures.

Any plans to change things ie can we help find you stuff and solutions or is the buggy all set to go ?

Thanks guys, I know it's supposed to be sunshine here every day but today and tomorrow it's raining. As soon as I can I will post some pictures. 👍👍

It`s a Hi from me
