Battery Box, Right Front — Porsche 911 / 912 (JP-1963-0)
Couldn't load pickup availability
The JP-1963-0 is the complete right-hand front battery box that welds into the inner wheelhouse, for 1968–1973 Porsche 911 and 912. It is a JP Group (Dansk) weld-in steel reproduction, stamped in Denmark to the factory profile.
What is the JP-1963-0?
It is the complete right-hand front battery box that welds into the inner wheelhouse. JP Group of Denmark stamps it in steel to the original factory profile, and it is sold in the US under the Dansk name. US shops also list this part as a battery well, battery box repair panel — all the same panel.
Does the JP-1963-0 fit my Porsche?
| Years | Models |
|---|---|
| 1968–1973 | Porsche 911 and Porsche 912 |
Commonly replaced together with the fuel tank support rails and the front suspension pan — if you are in this far, look at those at the same time.
Why this panel fails
Long-hood 911s carry a battery in each front wheel well, and battery acid destroys the box and then the wheelhouse behind it. This is the whole box, not a patch.
What this is not
This is not a partial repair patch, and not the later single centre battery tray used from 1974.

How is it installed?
This is a weld-in restoration panel. It is cut in and welded by a qualified body shop or an experienced fabricator using standard MIG or spot-welding technique. Trial-fit and clamp before you cut the original out — on a rusty car the surrounding structure has usually moved, and the new panel is your reference for putting it back where the factory had it.
Common questions
Is the JP-1963-0 genuine Porsche or a reproduction?
It is an aftermarket reproduction made by JP Group of Denmark, built to match the factory panel's fit and profile. It is not a genuine Porsche OEM part, and it is priced accordingly.
Does it come primed or painted?
It ships bare or lightly protected depending on the batch, ready for you to prep, seam seal and paint. Plan on your own primer and paint.
Do I need one or two?
One per car unless your repair calls for more.
How do I know it is the right panel for my chassis?
Send us your VIN or model year before you order. We would rather answer a question than process a return on a panel that has already been cut.
