Pinto help needed.
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.

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