Re: Battery

If you look directly under the green knob on that wretched battery cutoff switch, you'll see where a 1/2" piece of steel band was added to the hold-down bracket so it will secure a slightly shorter battery (see the difference at the bottom right where the battery nests in the tray). Otherwise no changes. The battery does sit on a thin rubber pad in the bottom of the tray which is probably a good idea, might help-can't hurt.

You'll see Exide calls it a Grp 64-60 indicating it's their replacement for the Grp 60.

You might also note some extra heavy black insulation wrapped on the positive cable where it meets the lead terminal. I probably should replace the cable but you'll note how close the cable is to the holddown bracket and should they ever touch you're in for a colossal display of trouble.
