A word of caution regarding apparent battery sizes. I recently needed a new battery for my +8. I took the battery retaining frame to TAYNA batteries who were very helpful. It turns out that the quoted battery sizes are the outside dimensions which may be different to the dimensions of the top of the battery which is where the retaining frame fits. The quoted size may be for the base of the battery which may have a projection for a clamp to retain the battery.
There was only one battery which fitted the Morgan frame. It had the required CCA but the amp hours were a lot less than the original battery. I was assured that it would turn the V8 over ok because of the correct CCA but I am not sure how it will perform in the long run.
I would be inclined to make my own retaining frame for the battery of my own choice the next time round.
