Tstango-

The problem is the terminal position. Even if its mounted upright, the + and - cables will not reach. If you spin it around, they still wont reach because now the + and - posts are on the "wrong side."

That is why I flipped mine on its side. I used the stock hold down, with just a bit of modifying, and its holding tight.

 

THanks for the explanation. I think I'll just pick one up and try it out.
Thanks -Tim

 

Not that I'm an expert or actually have one of these fine batteries, but I've read (somewhere in here) that they stopped making orange tops and just gave it a red top with a different number.

Using the spacer on top of the battery sounds like an excellent idea, by the way
