I've found a lot of non standard modifications on Westies and Vanagons.
It is true that some make goose sense like dual horns, up graded sound
systems but every change you make can become the weakest link between
your van getting you there, bursting into flames or simply becoming un
dependable at some point.
I've heard list members just dropping in an Optima Battery so I'm sure
they have a battery to fit the case.
Find a dealer that has one that fits.
I got six years out of my first Die Hard battery at $48.00 and since the
battery is very well protected from most of its natural enemies of Heat,
Cold, Dirt and Vibration it may have lasted another few years. Cranking a
4 cylinder isn't much work for a standard group 41/43 battery.
