I think the bracket is a safety feature. I guess I irritate some with what they consider obsession with safety features, especially given that our vehicles are not stars in that regard anyway. But to me, that's an important reason to maintain what safety margin we can. If an accident is more likely than with another vehicle, well, I want to take care of the "what if" ahead of time. Glad to know this battery size is a reasonable substitute for the stock size. Thanks, David David McNeely |
