I would note that as much as I appreciate OE and concours original, I will
go with more updated stuff for better functionality and performance because
I use my car regularly. I have tried to stay with OE appearance when
ever possible with my car, but again for better performance and reliability
I'm all about upgrades..Since the battery is a key part to a reliable car I
have used the modern sealed unit with a vent in my car..when I see that
manifold of battery caps I see 6 failure points for corrosive fumes in my
trunk, that is more evidence supporting all the "JOE LUCAS" jokes out
there.
