There is a kit designed for the 151 that includes four rubber covers for the
battery terminals, hardware and a terminal post. It looks like it was
designed just for problem of the lid coming in contact with the battery
terminals. These NOS kits are widely available and should work on most all
top terminal batteries.

When I bought my M151A2 it had half of an old tire intertube laying on top
of the batteries. Seems to work pretty well. Also, the battery hold-down
brackets were rusted out, so I use pieces of 2 X 4s to separate the
batteries and keep them in place.
