Ron
Thanks for the clarification. I had just ordered a G27 battery when you
posted your first measurements. Since my car is not readily available for me
to check myself, I was in a bit of a panic. Between your updated
measurements and some info from Paul, I am now eagerly awaiting the arrival
of my new battery.
Thanks, Jim

It did not make sense to me that the original Group 27 battery was
larger than the battery tray so I measured the tray again to check. I was a
little off.
Battery tray - 6 7/8" x 12 3/16" That's a better fit for the Group 27
battery.

I have an Interstate MT-34 battery in my Tiger.
Seems to me there was also an optional battery listed that was a little
longer. You would have to look to see if that optional battery is still
available.
MT-34 case is 6 3/4"W x 10 1/4"L x 7"H
Tiger battery plastic tray is 6 15/16"W x 11 3/16"L

Was looking to pick up a new battery for the tiger. Current battery that is
in it is an Interstate 24-50. I thought I remember that group 24 was the
original size, but I can't remember what reference I found that in.
Poking around, it looks like group 24 is available, it isn't very common
anymore except in marine batteries.
Looking at the optima site, they pulled up a size 34 battery for the Sunbeam
tiger.
Since I'm not really worried about concourse, Is group 34 that what other
people are running as a practical matter? Or is there another size that
makes more sense?
Thanks,
Steve
