Just bought 2 off these

not expensive, but they are a direct replacement for the 2 I just took out which had been in for 5 years

It's not the leisure battery it's the main battery

Usual batteries are numbered as follows: -
063 standard battery
075 heavy duty battery
And I have heard of a 100 battery just squeezing in the battery box.

They are all 175 mm (7") tall batteries, so well suited to be low enough to avoid shorting against the underside of the seat.

There are others - but these are 190 tall, so at risk of electrical shorts under the seat.

As for prices...just have a good browse.
Euro car parts often do special offers and discounts, so worth a check online.
1983 Tin Top with a poorly DF and 4 speed DT box.
1987 Electrics and a DJ engine.
Maybe one day I might get it finished

I fitted one of these, and it’s been very good holding it’s charge whilst the van was not moved for months on end

100's do just squeeze in - in the base of my offside space, there is a small 'bump' which caused the battery to sit up - wonky.  I used side cutters to nibble away a few mm of the protuding profile/foot of the battery case (not the actual wall - thats crazy talk)
