What Batteries are people using.... Do they fit in the original brackets? I've seen repro Willard and Ford Script are they any good? I've also seen the new optima with the simulated tar top like the originals, but at 300 dollars a battery I'll pass.... I know I can put anything in, but curious if there is a good battery that will fit the original hold downs and battery trays.

Thanks,
Tony

Tony, I own some original WWII MB/GPW/GPA batteries in my collection. Nothing similar with the copies you may buy today ...

Here are some of my batteries, Peter ...

Different brand. Size is always the same on the bottom, I still have to take measurement.

My Dear Mithril,

You are just the ultimate collector; you get into the most authentic detail.

I would not be surprised if I learned on day that you have got a NOS stock of gas to drive your GPA :lol: :lol: :lol:

Cheers
