Graeme,
Found a type 51 Optima online, it looks like this is a new size type to the
Optima line. The length & with look good, I am a bit concerned about the
height @ 9" it looks kinda tight to the hood. If this will fit it is in the
running as you gotta love the weight @ only 26 lbs.
This is yellow top, looks like the yellow top is better at being parked for
long naps than the red tops & certainly better than a traditional wet cell.

Can anyone verify if this size type is not too tall???????
