Battery help

[Dan-G40]

Having a hard time locating a battery that actually fits correctly on the G without it catching on the bonnet bracket... The new Bosch ones seem to have the lip on the bottom all the way around, previous Bosch silver that was on it had flush sides... Does anyone know a battery that fits properly or do I need to cut the right hand lip of a standard one?


Thanks

Dan

I use a bosch s5 and i have never had a problem.

Priced one up at VW, £70 + VAT 

Got a Yuasa with 2 yr warranty in the end for £36, cut the lip off on the right hand side, fits in like a glove.

Like a glove with a finger tip cut off!

Jezza, was that on offer or with trade discount.
I bought the same battery, ~£95rrp, £54 with a mate's trade card.
I'm just interested to know if they come on offer occasionally too. Cheers.

Trade that was mate. Never buy anything from them unless its on the trade discount.
