Battery Box Difference

[ghoregon]

Are these battery boxes interchangeable? I have a 1986 Ex-MoD 90 and my box is pretty rusted.

They look very, very similar and are both genuine LR, but one is 10x the cost. Will LR066517 work in my truck?

I know YRM is a popular option, but if I can get a genuine replacement for ~$100, that seems like a great option.

Thanks,
Greg

Call Zack and ask him who makes the $100 batt box. Their Proline brand comes from several sources but carries a very good warranty. Just don't ask him if it will fit in a Santana.

Both boxes are factory Rover parts, as for the price difference, not a clue.

FWIW, In my experience ROW battery box is 1" wider than the NAS box. I found that out when replacing mine
