I couldn't beat the price I got for a 870 Cranking Amp Yellow top for the Vette.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...&sort=3&rows=50 Auction just close a few days ago and I received it today. Looks great. Best local price for the high number Yellow top with side posts was $185 and tax, this one was $141 to my door. Excellent service; many times Ebay rocks. I fully recommend these guys. I bought a Red Top for the Vette now knowing they are notorious for demanding a lot from a battery (I know that know after searching the Vette forum). It's only 5 months old, and is still good, just doesn't like turning over that car. If anybody locally is interested in a great deal, let me know. I don't have anything else that needs a battery now... sm |

I used a rubber strap with a metal hook on each end. I attached it from under the tray, up and over the battery, and then onto the area where the cpu is held. The battery fit is so well on it's side, that the battery won't move much with or without the strap. I also used a battery acid mat on the bottom as a buffer for the plastic casing. I have a 34R. In hindsite I would of bought the 34.
