Optima battery

[mdsalemi]

I just replaced my battery today with an Optima red top Group 34R. Like the prior battery there’s a plastic lift underneath which raises the battery about 3/4 of an inch. The battery holder fits, although not exactly perfectly. The frame is very close to the edges of the battery…perhaps a little too close for my comfort. Presently the battery is installed and tight.

Wondering if anyone has fabricated anything to place on top of the optima battery such that the factory battery hold down frame fits a bit better?

I fabbed a new top frame to fit the Optima.  I know that is no help for you since you want to use the original top frame.  It is an option though.

I also have fitted the same battery…..could you share a foto fo your fabricated part? With thanks Michael
