We used a couple of Interstate 6V batteries--I think they're actually for golf carts--in our 100M resto. Now, it appears Interstate is not making 6V batteries in a form factor that will fit in the trays and brackets used in 100s anymore. I thought about getting the repro tar tops when they were available, but they were just too damn expensive--I figured I could buy them after I win the lottery (note to self: win lottery).<br></div><div><br></div><div>Bob<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Bob,<br><div><br></div></div>In a word NO, reproduction 17L tar-top batteries from Vintage Battery Company are no longer available. They cannot get quality lead plates anymore, and it seems that no one makes a maintenance free 6V battery that will fit into their reproduction Lucas cases. They still make the slightly taller battery that is used in the MGA which is a maintenance free battery but it's slightly too tall to use in the 100s.<br><div><br></div>I've given up trying to work with their CEO, Dolores so if someone else wants to contact them and see if they can get them to find a solution to this problem... then be my guest.<br><div><br></div></div>Curt<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
