The only thing that I would be concerned with is getting a battery with the
proper height to clear the recess of the battery box. The last thing you
want to do is cause contact that would short out the battery.

Subject: [Spits] screw-on battery terminals?
My Spit's battery finally bit the dust yesterday. After an attempted
charging, it's not going to turn the starter motor over. I double
checked the battery terminals, etc.
My question is this: How hard is it to use those newer type screw-on
battery terminal posts with a Spit? Finding the positive cable
replacement should be easy(it's a small cable), but I have found zero
luck in finding a battery cable that also branches out to the ground so
it ground out to the tranny bellhousing. Unless there's some separate
cable I can mount on the screw terminal thing to use that for ground. If
that's a no-no, please tell me.
I've realized that these old fashioned battery clamps are more of a
hassle than anything.
Also, would this get in the way of the factory standard battery
hold-down clamp?
