Subject: Re: Optima Batteries

Depends on whether or not it is a Westy -- the Westy hinge for the battery
cover is different than the standard van's. I have them side by side and the
Westy one is MUCH smaller -- the Optima battery (either model) will not fit
as-is! In my Westy, I had to punch holes in the battery cover to get it to
work. OR I could have eliminated the cover and the hinge completely and
probably gotten it to work. A "normal" van does not have this problem.

What about in a Westy Wolfsburg Weekender...

(Kidding.)
