Re: Install Optima Battery in Ford case
you can install a 6V Optima in a Ford V8 case. they are 1" longer than a Model A case.
I did try to figure out a way of doing just that. but failed. it would pretty neat if someone comes up with a way. |

I made my own battery tie down out of aluminum stock . I put the battery on an angle connected it to the hold down screws also used the model a square hold down . Works great.

Why spend that much for just a battery. Optima sure has good marketing.

When I threw in my two cents I should have said . . "If we are refering to the optima three cell 6 volt battery . . ."
