I am planning to add the second battery to my 87 westy in the near future. How much do I have to modify the compartment behind the driver's seat to accomodate the battery? Also, do you have to "tie" the battery down? I was hoping to be able to put the battery in a plastic marine battery case. Has anyone found a decent battery that would fit in a plastic case and still fit in this compartment? I do have swivel seats. How much should I expect the dealer to charge me to set up this system? Finally, if I just put the batter in and the terminals touch the metal top of the compartment will I have a problem? Thanks for the advice ajax 87 westy gl (rust just removed.)
