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? |

QUOTE(rickso71 @ Dec 5 2004, 08:29 PM) Trying to find a "real" battery tray. restoration design makes them ... you'll need items #P315, #P316 and P317 (clamp, tray and support) as for the optima, both will fit, and yes, negative is usually towards the front firewall (34R) but you can also use the 34 and flip it 180deg. that will move the terminals away from the fender, all you need to do is stretch the cables a bit ... see pic below ...
