OK, I don't know why I didn't think of this before dry fitting the pieces, but the battery box opening (which will have a cover when it's done) is AWFULLY close to the fuel cock which has, in the past, leaked some... so, now in my paranoia I am envisioning stray sparks off the battery igniting dripping fuel... (better to think about that NOW than while I am zipping down the street...). What also comes to mind is the Myth Busters episode where they were trying to ignite gas fumes with a cell phone, and it took a LOT of gas vapor and a lot of sparks to get the thing to blow, so I might be merely paranoid...
The box and the door to the box are polyurethaned wood, and the gray thing is the battery in the box:
So, am I being paranoid or is my design a ticking time bomb?
