Hi,
The battery in my TR4A is toast and it's time for a replacement. I'm
finding the type 27F that is in the car is a special order.
I chose 27F (12 years ago) instead of the Type 24 which I believe is
the normal fitment as I could get it in black with a flat top and two
"gang" vents. These I replaced with 6 OLD "round" style vents to
give a period look and the LUCAS sticker applied helped to create
this illusion.
The 27F (and probably 24) when installed in a negative ground car has
the terminals on the firewall side. I'm wondering if anyone is using
a type 27 in this app? The terminals would then be on the engine
side. There doesn't appear to be a problem with the hold down bar
(making contact with the terminals) but I'm concerned about the
positive cable mounting shorting out.
I ask because type 27 is an off-the-shelf item.
Opinions?
Thanks,
Brian
