Battery 69 Z/28
« on: July 19, 2011, 12:35:54 AM »
Howdy Troops
We purchased an Antique Auto Battery R59 gel battery for our Z. Do any other memebers run one of these and have you had problems with any moisture etc hitting the top and discoloring or distorting the finish? The mfg recommended tire foam (no brand recommended) to make the top shinny and look new but that was a waste of 6 bucks! Any suggestions? I hate to have to by a new battery since the top looks like crap due to water damage and coolant being sprayed all over it.
Thanks

Ausley,s Chevelle sells R59 and R89 toppers for 49.00. I have a couple and walking through the battery store you can find one that fits perfect and is very hard to tell that it is not the real deal. A friend showed his Z with one and lost no points.

Thanks for the response but the topper will not fit over the AAB gel battery
