Hey Carol!
Thanks for going the "extra mile"! For Mark: checked at our local
Cars-R-Us place today. They had a Group 55 and a Group 57. Seems I
have it bracketed.
Reason for asking for the list's assistance is that the MGA I have
purchased is still at the previous owner's, some 2.5 hrs away and I
don't have one to run out and measure! Going to buy a battery and take
it down when I go to pick it up and am trying to avoid getting an
incorrect size.
Now I've got two to look for. Either a 26P or a 56, right?
