[Roadsters] Batteries again. 51R & 96 Integra hold down strap.

[MH]

I use a Group 51R. Positive post is nearest and to the rear of the engine .
I think it's a good size for it's capacity. I also use a GM 63 amp
"one-wire" alternator. On a related issue. I just installed one of those
"quick-disconnectors",  the one with the green knob you often see in pics
from the Roadster shows. Any issues about them vibrating loose while
driving, etc., etc. They don't use a lock washer under the knob. Just
wondering.
