My recent acquisition has neither a battery nor a battery tray. That's not entirely true since there was a rusty, hand-made tray held in with a few bolts, one sheet metal screw, and a small piece of 2x4 that rested in the inner fender!
I've read (here I think) that a 34R fits. Looks like a pretty tall battery. What's the orientation of the terminals? I'm assuming the NEG terminal is toward the firewall not the rear trunk. Is the NEG terminal in close to the fender sheet metal or toward the engine? |

THanks about the battery size. Yes, I checked out the rust situation before buying but as everyone knows, there's always more than meets the eye... in my case a partly rusted-through passenger-side engine mount ear that I someone weld back together. The fender and the longs are okay. Trying to find a "real" battery tray. In pictures I've found recently, the NEG terminal is closest to the engine and not the inner fender. Can't remember if that's a 34 or 34R... I'll take a look at them first.
