[Healeys] BJ8 Battery/boot clearances

[Bob Spidell]

I've always bought Group 24 batteries for my BJ8 with no fitment problem (but I trimmed the wood backing block to give more boot space). 

AFAIK, the 'group' number is a size designation.

Good afternoon all, 


I was about to purchase a new battery for my 1966 BJ8...specifically 
an Interstate MEGA-TRON Plus 24 (as it has a 800 CCA rating), but 
became concerned as to its size (width: 6.88 height: 8.75 length: 
11.0). 


Given the batterys 11 inch length would the boots lid close without 
alteration? 


Thank you for any guidance offered.
