As some of you know i balls this up last time and now have a Optima yellow top surplus to requirements I have seached with no definitive answer Thanks in advance.

It leaves a ridge mark of the plastic cover in the sound insulator on the underside of the bonnet, I just look at it as a but of extra hold on the battery. It works a treat and the car hasn't burst into flames. Yet.
Del where did you get the battery clamp for your second battery ?The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Standard LR part, but you need the part for LHD cars. You will ask your garage for the correct part, LR parts will send the wrong part coz they assumed you got it wrong then they will be told that you got it right and you want the LHD car battery bracket. Eventually you get the right bracket.
YJF500100 ISTR and I used the upright bars that were fitted for the original aux battery.
Cheers Del. Is there a Tayna discount code as D2boys gave 59p off a £70 order The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
