Going to fit one in the engine bay, but it tight so will need a small battery.
Any advice on what one, it's going to need to drive a Rv8 Starter.

Thanks

Who does them for 130, as DT want 150 + vat I do get 10% but that still more expensive than 130

Thanks

Leigh,

checked mine out today, its a red top 25.

680a cranking, so loads for an RV8, and spins mine fine (for 3 years road/track/race, only flattened by all the new electro gizmos I had on for 2 days whilst fitting and checking at Cadwell). Charges fine with Accumate.

cheaper, smaller and lighter. (also why I thought it was so cheap.)
