I went with the Antigravity battery and made an adapter plate for it. I thought that way if the battery ever died away from home it would be easier to replace it with a regular battery. The other day I was on Antigravity's webpage and they now sell adapter mounts like I made for around $179.

Ahh, Thanks MadFiat, I see it now.

Nice Job SportFan, I did think about that "away from home" thing but I was looking for more room for the future (not even sure what I'll do with it) and when I got started I just kept going lol. For the first week, I drove around with a battery and jumpers, not being sure the Braille would work, but it has been 4 months now and it's been great. That DNA bar... is that a Strut Tower Bar? It's huge!

Yes ,it is the DNA strut bar. I'm running an underdrive pulley with the Antigravity battery and so far everything has worked fine. I go back to the OEM battery in the winter.

Very Nice, that would have saved me lots of time instead of making mine. I checked their Web site and looked at the battery mount. Very nice.
