Hi Mate...have a measure of the area that the battery fits into..I had a real mission trying to find one but opted for a MX5 battery..Its small & powerfull but a little expensive..Try these people first as they might have something that fits..I think also you might need something that has around 450 Cranking amps..Cheers...Ziga

Hi

Slight off topic, I had to fit a new batt to the SX on Sunday, with the set up on the SX you have to remove the header tank from the offside inner wing to get the batt in and out!

Pic to show I can still do it, sorry for the view of my legs!

Thanks
My battery is mounted on the opposite side so think I will measure the space.

Andy if you or anyone else with a supercharged wedge....Can take a pic of the oil reservoir that is clipped to the unit please as i think mine is either the wrong one or its been poorly modified..Many thanks...Ziga

Zig - what I saw in the pics you posted looks typical but I'll take a few snaps.

Wooly - you haven't had the pleasure of Andy's legs up close - let me tell you the picture doesn't really convey the full impact of it, but it does give a good impression.

I too have massive admiration for Andy's progress - all the more for seeing it in the flesh!

Thanks Adam...I think it is the correct reservoir but someone has cut a hole in the top and wedged a pipe in there as a filler tube as it was a sealed unit ..Although it has the feed & return outlets...cheers...Ziga
