Hi all, it's been a while since ive been on here or in the garage but back again with motivation so here I go, my 1.6 pinto is ready to be fired up but my battery is huge, what rating should I look for to shed weight, will a second hand bike battery work if so again which type and what rating to look for, also I was hoping to make my own hydraulic clutch setup using a defender slave cylinder externaly mounted but the tunnel is far to narrow, what internal ones can I use ie mondeo slave cylinder. As dont like spending a fortune on the rally design one.
Any help grately appreciated

Certainly don't think a bike battery would do the job. I use an odessey PC680. mounted in the passenger side. Nice and light. I do have an Anderson plug connected to it for a quick jump on cold mornings if I need it. Cant help on the clutch.

If you want light Russ Bist of Furore does gell batteries of different sizes cheaper than most

as Paul says
if you really want to save weight..
speak to Russ
