I use a type 27 battery in my positive ground TR2 and TR3. The
posts are on the firewall side with this arrangement. I also use the
the type 27 in the TR4A which being negative ground puts the
terminals on the engine side. So it does work either way.
If you prefer to have the terminals on the other side, a type 27F can
be used which has the terminals reversed.
As far as cable length, you MAY have a problem as the REACH is
further to the engine side. I recently replaced the 27F in my TR4A
with a 27 and had to get a new ground cable as the original would no
longer reach.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Brian
