Available from Netherlands but at €1400 you may not be too keen.

Appears to be the US – have to contact them for a quote – I suspect it will be expensive.

These people appear to be a Belgian company associated with the previous one – (Ceteor) and going under the name of Schumacher Electrical.

Along with others, they seem to have battery chargers which act as boosters as well.  This one says 100A starting current and reckons it is suitable for starting SUVs.

I am not sure how far 100A goes for a 6V starter.  Seems a bit light to me.

These things do seem to be out there but all seem VERY expensive.  I wonder if it would be possible to take a centre tap off the batteries of a 12 volt unit and give yourself two 6V boosters in one box.

Surely there are people in Europe driving around in 6V VWs, Porsches, Fiats, Tractions, 2CVs, Peugeots, etc. that have solved this problem.  When I am next in France, I can ask my tame garagiste or maybe one of our members permanently in France can dig around.

Good Luck
