Well our Cnd $ isn't doing *that* well....  ;)

Yes Interstate for sure. Made by Johnson Controls if I recall
correctly from some of your other posts Dennis.

Just picked up an Energizer from Wallmort. $116 Cnd.  ($98+fee+taxes)
Fits easy. Maybe even enough room for a tray. (Just finished dealing
with rust and re-paint) I'll double check lid clearance, but I bet
it's fine. No one else has complained about lid issues with this
battery.

Thought there might be another solution and was willing to do a little
research for the list in using reconditioned, but the WallBat was only
~ $50 more than reconditioned, closer to home, and has a way better
warranty should one claim it. Besides. I bet "Reconditioned" can mean
several things depending on where one buys.
