What type of battery is everyone here using for their TD Replicas? Especially interested in what to use for the Duchess, as I need something short enough to fit under my seat. Thanks!
I am wondering the same, since I will have to take one with me when I go to pick it up. I know during the Ford Escort era that there was a series that offered a lower profile. But if I remember right it was a little thicker front to back than a standard battery size.

Just go to your retail outlet and ask for a battery for a 1971 VW Beetle.Paul Mossberg

I just bought a battery for mine. Went to Firestone to get an Interstate battery, it called for a Size 42 (73 chassis) but they didn’t have any, and it would take two weeks to order. Ended up getting a Size 47 battery, which on occasion is substituted. Haven’t tried sticking it under the seat yet, but it looks like it will fit.
