European Voyager Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Hi Can anyone give me the battery number for a spitfire . I can't find one from the suppliers here . The posts are on the wrong side and it doesn't want to sit right . Regards EV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 038 or 015 are original many, including me, have used 063 or 075 as a very common size. The terminal posts then sit at the rear of the battery tray, nicely away from the clamp. The 075 is a nice snug fit, 063 is not quite as wide (side to side) but again, pretty snug. I have had to find longer J bolts on one car for the clamp, but not always. (You can use 6mm studding, and put a bend in that at one end, it is what I had to do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Like Clive, I have 063 on all three of mine. It's snug but not tight. Terminals at the back keeps them clear of the clamp when fitting or removing. And it's more powerful and cheaper than the 038 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used an 'S' hook on the end of the bar and through the mounting hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagger Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 On my vitesse I used a length of chain righ tthrough the bracket and hooked the ends of the rods through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpitFire6 Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 063 210L x 175W x 175H 075 242L x 175W x 175H 027 242L x 175W x 190H Hi, All the above fit a 1500. 063 is a bit skinny and generally lower CCA & Ah. 075 fits good and normally Higher CCA & Ah than a 063. 027 fits good, 15mm taller and potentially Higher CCA & Ah than the rest. (Sometimes 075 internals are fitted in 027 cases Battery weight will confirm this) I have a 027. 60Ah & 680 CCA. AGM Stop Start type: Best & lowest internal resistance available. (0.0048 Ohm internal resistance) for £80. Added bonus is voltage slightly higher than conventional. Cheers, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 Just fitted an 075 to the Herald, no worries so far with size, terminal location, or starting....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
