mr v6 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 I measured the inside of the battery tray earlier & it measures 260mm maximum. So how are some of you fitting a 278mm battery in there? Am I to assume you've just sat it on top of the box, used the tie down strap & just hope it doesn't move? Quote

ZMANALEX Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 You will have to "modify" the plastic battery tray or fit a section of 10mm ply under the battery, the latter will work providing the battery is not to high to take the battery securing hooks. Quote
mr v6 Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Thanks for all the replies. As I didn't want to hack away at the battery tray, I bought a Yuasa 027AGM from work & it dropped right into the tray with no modification required. It's a little wider, but not as tall. It has 680CCA & 60Ah. Spins the engine over much better than the old RAC / Exide 005 that was in there. Quote
