battery to fit molded tray
Morning all
Hope someone can help me out. I'm trying to source a battery that will fit the molded battery space on the Indy. Started with a standard
Sierra battery which is too big to fit in the molded space 
The engine is a 2.0 pinto so I need to know what sort of capacity would be sufficent for the job and also fit the molding.
From previous posts a type 045 or 069 would fit but would it turn the pinto engine over okay? as I know alot of you have bike engines
The problem is all the batterys I've looked at so far have the lip around the bottom of the battery case which makes it too large to fit the
Indy battery tray which by my measurements is 200x170mm internal.
Any assistance appreciated as i'm hoping to start the car next week.

a type 045 would be fine on a pinto. a lot of people fit them to 200sx after fitting an intercooler, as the pipework has to go through the battery
tray, thus the requirement to fit a smaller battery. i personally ran my 200sx on a tiny little Varley Redtop
