....smaller the PC925 is than the Optima it replaced. Several of y'all recommended this specific battery, and I had to do some modifications to secure it on the battery tray. It's all charged and ready for a test start and drive tomorrow, and I not completely satisfied with the manner that it is secured in place, but I'll work on that later.

Odyseey makes SAE terminals for $10. This is what I bought and there's plenty of room to properly seat the cables.

There isn't any info about how they are installed on the battery screw connectors of the PC925. |

My PC680 came with those terminals. I bought mine from Summit. @Mark Henry - how much for that PC680 mount? I'd like one for my 6 conversion plz (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's hand made, if there was a market I'd make them, but I'd need at least 20 to get the price under $100. It's basically 4 sides of an aluminum box and a couple of blocks, it sits on top of and hooks into the OE hold down, then uses the factory hold down bolt. Odyseey makes SAE terminals for $10.

There isn't any info about how they are installed on the battery screw connectors of the PC625. I just checked the 680 isn't a flat top, it has the same indents as the 925. I'm using the same terminals as in the the pic, the block on the bottoms gets the terminal bottom flush with the battery top. But note mine are different bolting as they have inset hex socket bolts and I don't remember the terminals being threaded, just the battery. |

Here's #2 of 20 for a PC680 mount if you offer them. It looks super right—period-ish and not overdone, like something Clausecker might have made for the 914-8s. Love it exactly the way it's in your car. |
