NO, NO, NO.  Don't saw the posts off!  I made this mistake before.  The
posts are actually 2 pieces of lead, an inner piece and a "cap" piece.  If
you saw off the post you will open up the crevice in-between these 2
pieces and acid will escape ruining the battery.  BTDT.

While ive got your attention, ive still got a vanagon propane tank for
sale.  As well as lots of parts from an 87 Westy (Westy Interior gone) im
parting out.  Email me with requests/prices.

Thanks,
