QUOTE(windforfun @ Jan 14 2012, 07:46 PM)  Stock tray with Optima battery. Thanks for the pic - looks like a great fit with the factory rain tray, which I will be using. What size optima did you go with...and is that an "R" (reversed terminals) model? Finally, did you have to order that hold down bracket separately? I hope to pick one up this week and I have read varying opinions on which one to get. |

It's a model 34. No R anywhere. It's what High Performance House had for sale. I don't know if the terminals are in the reversed position. It comes with the bracket.

Just ordered an Optima 34R (to bring the terminals inboard a bit) for $122 with free shipping. I did have to pay sales tax.
From what I can tell, thats a pretty good deal. Check out this link if you are in the market: http://www.streetsideauto.com/search.asp?keywords=optima+34r Bob |

Comon Bob, only 1 battery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
First of all, you need to buy the biggest battery you can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)  then, you need to put a second one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)  |

Is the tray replacement doable witht the engine in the car?
I just got the parts and removed the old, but not sure I can get the space to weld in the new. Anyone doe this? |

Resurrecting an old thread...
Was 3" the official measurement from the leading edge of the battery tray to the firewall WITHOUT a factory pad (just metal to metal)? Does anybody have a factory-installed tray that could be measured just once more because I'm anal? |

Here is a reassuring photo from my 1973 1.7 without the insulation pad in place:
 A few more if you need them:    |
