I have a 1926 model t roadster pick up. It has been updated to 12 volt system. Does anyone have advice on car battery to use? I am thinking of mounting the battery in the same place the factory did. I was looking at perhaps a battery from a Honda Civic. Any opinions?
Thanks
Jerry

OPTIMA.....they offer a 6 and in your case a 12v will fit in the battery box and there also is a battery tartopper cover kit for both volt batteries. Check Mac's.

As far as a civic battery, not sure how it will set but....keep those things in a honda.
