Hi does anyone know what battery fits the Midas bronze? Spent an hour down halfords today measuring them all getting some funny looks. Thanks in advance

Thanks for that it's much appreciated what mods do you have to do?

By the look of it you have to trim the plastic retainer strips from two sides of the battery and alter the position of the battery retaining bar.

I fitted the Varta B36 battery in my Bronze and Stuart is correct, I cut the retaining strips off the sides and also off the back just to allow the battery to sit further back as it comes in contact with the shroud that covers the speedo cable. I then fabricated a similar clamp. Im pretty pleased how it fitted.
