Repro battery case: R89 or other side terminal
 

Anyone have a repro R89, or other '71-ish Chevy side terminal repro they have no use for? All I need is the case...Newcastle supposedly used to sell them this way, but they went under...any ideas?

If it's for your 69 Camaro,wouldn't you rather have an R79W?
I have both NOS,but they are display items only.

Nope, the banana is keeping it's heavy @ss delco w/topper...there's a reason why my Camaro is *unusually* heavier than some of the combos I compete against, but it's all legit and gutting your car is not what Pure Stock is about...at least not to *me*.

I'll see if Antique will just sell me a case...

As I figured...they won't sell me just a battery case...

Rob, Terry had gotten a bare case with the top not glued down from Newcastle, but a display battery is the same thing. It just has the top glued on.
