My Evic Mini had a leaky tank on it

Stripped it down and left it to dry off over a week

Since then, it had been draining a battery every 24hrs

Even when switched off

Stripped it down to see if anything was shorting out tonight

I remembered the spring that sits above the live battery terminal sprung out when I stripped it

And the game of hunt the spring after

What I never noticed was a plastic hat that sat on top of the spring come out with the spring

Only noticed the spring was sitting on the chassis tonight when I stripped it down again

First off I started with an electricians tape bodge over the top of the spring

Then looked on the net for strip down pictures and found a picture showing the hat I never knew it should have

Luckily it had been found and put in a pot of "what ever it is, it might be needed" bits

How the battery never cooked I will never know

A lot of luck and stupidity on my part

Please take care if you ever have to strip a  mod down
