Hi all. Here's what I measured at/near bottom of box on my Canadian '81 Westy. Width at bottom: 7.25" Length at bottom: 12.25" Height: 7" Personally I would size a battery at less than these figures. W&L of box is narrower at bottom. This may account for some possible confusion when sizing a battery. Posted this for a possible "why" behind this. Pic showing "bumps" accounting for dim. difference at/near bottom portion of box. Of interest to me, was the sloping bit at front of box. Didn't notice that right away. Bottom line: measure box at bottom! Hope this helps. Neil. P.S. Box rust due to my own newb ignorance.... thought damage I did to my battery 3.5 years ago would not manifest into an actual hole! -- Neil Nicholson '81 VanaJetta 2.0 "Jaco" http://tubaneil.googlepages.com/ http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines |
