    Restoring second battery in Early Car

    I have one optima battery installed in the left fender of my 72 (which is how I purchased it) and now I'd like to add the other battery. I know I can get the ground strap from Pelican, but I cannot find the oem positive lead. Has anyone had any luck sourcing this wire and terminal? I know I could make my own but I'd rather it look stock.

    And do you get your Optimas from Pelican?

    restoring second battery in early car

    The correct cable ends are still available from Porsche, but I don't think a "stock" appearance applies to two Optimas laying on their sides. Two Sonnenschein batteries will have a stock fit and appearance and they are gel type non venting batteries.
