Let me suggest the large NAPA commercial 6-volt Group 4, gobs more CCA than an Optima and at least for me they last 8 or more years. Posted on: 2015/5/28 15:30

That would seem to be an issue if repro tray sizes are the same as on the actual cars. Ulrich and San Diego PI have Gr 2 repro trays around 7" deep but the Gr 4 battery appears to be 9 3/8 high. I would wonder if the terminals would clear the cover with a sufficient margin of safety. Posted on: 2015/5/28 15:39

Also you might check a Delco 4HD6V battery - comparable specs - that's the Grp. 4 I currently have in my 34, now in it's 7th year. Posted on: 2015/5/28 15:49

I pulled out the cradle that sits on the two heavy bars - 11 7/8 between the end hoops vs 12 1/2 case did you guys modify the holder , and how do you slip it into the hole in the floor we won't get into the acid spill Posted on: 2015/5/29 19:43
