Now, on the prowl for some material to make an insulated cover. I had this really nice helicopter engine blanket or at least a panel of it, but that's apparently gone ... lol .. and I have not seen any lately at the surplus auctions or FleaBay. Any ideas ? I want something which can be sewn with a zipper vs. the stick on stuff.
What's the story on that mean looking battery?
