Thanks Sal, that's where I was trying as well, but had the same luck on the phone. If you do find them from some source, could you let us in on your success? I'd like to have a couple for future batteries.....the day will surely come.

The Motorsports International decals are good repros, but not the right size and shape for those who want exact originality. I am planning to make decals (professional decals, not made on a printer), so stay tuned for the progress and I will be happy to make some extras to sell to fellow members.

how do you plan on handling the wrong-style lift straps on the G-35S?

I'm going to make new ones out of the black nylon rope. 
And all the Gil G-35s come with the plastic strap.

Sal,
I too am planning to relocate the battery this winter. I plan to use a custom tray using angle steel to fit the batteries I opt for. I saw the G35 post by rokndad and found them nice however it sounds like they require fluid fill (electrolyte) and they only carry 500cca. I am considering the use of Optima 6V @ 800cca since they are totally sealed and less prone to outgas. I worry the acidic gasses will damage my seats which I want to avoid.
The Rebat label would be really cool. Count me in for one...... The Optimas are round so I plan to fashion an aluminum face/ends and paint it flat black. That should give the appearance of a box/correct shape. The tops will be wrong but a reasonable vintage look should result regardless.

Well, wouldn't a 65 period battery be getting into what would have been put into comp cars? I don't think I have any vintage photos that show either one or the other. Do you? I know this topic has come up in the past, and I don't think anyone has shown a picture of an original S/C battery. If there are pics, then people are not showing them for whatever reason. If there aren't, then it's back to just deciding which Cobra "brain trust" person's info you want to use.
I'd love to see the right picture. You know I don't like doing things the wrong way.

Actually, the G-35s are only about 300 cca. But two together would give 600cca, which is more than enough for most motors. Hell, I currently run ONE of those batteries and it has no problem turning my car over.

Those black batteries would not be correct anyway because they don't have the "Orange" caps 
Sunshine and Byots need to enter this discussion 
Ron I went on a run and figured out how to do the rope thing but I ain't saying how to do it untill I test it on my batteries. |
