    Bats only been in and out once or twice, have a feeling it was due to optimas being a little small for RRC battery hole and being allowed to potentially move left,right, forward and back.

    Pics, Yellow on drivers side, just fits and clears the oil cooler lines.
    Red on passenger side.
    You can see the clamps too.

    I guess one of the advantages of the 300tdi install is that you appear to not have the HVAC condenser hardlines between the radiator and main starting battery, your Header tank is relocated and your aircleaner barrel is also.

    with the 3.9 under there, the HVAC compressor is pretty much where your header tank is, the lines from the condenser core run next to the radiator, effectively reducing the ability to fit a longer unit in there.

    Looks like you are Lucky!
