[TR] TR3a battery sizes

[David Templeton]

Afternoon all,

After 5yrs of slumber, surprise, surprise the battery in the '3a needs
replacing.  I was in a local TSC store and they are having a sale on car
and farm batteries (I think it is a hint hint).  The reference book has
a listing for all Triumphs, very cool, including the '46-48 1800 :-).
They listed a couple of units, including a heavy duty tractor battery,
yeap all can snicker I felt the irony as well. It is 13" across, is the
standard battery box big enough?  I am not near the car to get a quick
measurement.

thanks
