Re: R59 Battery Case - Empty Display Model w/caps&
If you have a dead restoration style battery Gut it and then you can either go super light with a feather weight Lithium Ion battery or you could use a standard Mazda Miata battery right under your old case. For example the Miata Battery has 500CCA, all then you have to do is jump it into the case terminals and you are all set.

Didn't Kwhizz have a similar setup in his Gold Nova at one time?
