Has anyone tried to install an Optima D34 or D34/78 in a 1980 Westfalia's
auxiliary battery location (under the drivers seat) without modifications?
It would appear that it will not fit.  My measurements of the compartment
indicate that its 12 1/2" L x 6 7/8" W x 7" Deep and the Optima web site
says that the D34/78 is 10"x6.8"x7.8" which seems to indicate that the
compartment is not deep enough.  I was just curious about why I always hear
people talking about these batteries if the don't fit.
