Greetings all,

The non-original battery tray in my '73S isn't looking too healthy these days, nor is the single 12V battery. I'm trying to decide whether to replace the battery with another single 12V, except a sealed deep-cycle...or...do a retro-original install with a pair of compact 12V sealed batteries mounted in the original battery boxes for better weight distribution and less clutter in the luggage compartment. Any thoughts?

There are tons of compact sealed 12V batterys out there now...I'm looking at some (SVR) that are designed for car audio applications. I even thought about 12V motorcycle batteries...light, compact and relatively inexpensive.

Shouldn't be too difficult to mount dual batteries in the original boxes, but if I go with a single battery I still don't have a way to mount it. Does anyone have any pictures of their own battery tray/hold-down/bracket, or advice on the topic?

Thanx,
Tony
