    Hi again Damien, the SSB HVT-50D is slightly shorter, same width and only 10mm higher in the body but lower that the terminal height of the D43, because you can ( and should ) remove the battery studs on the SSB.

    It's sound like it will be a very close fit, I'll do some measuring next weekend

    D34 vs HVT50, remember the terminals on the HVT50 can be removed which decreases its height below that of the D34

    Battery terminals isn't the issue, it's the case. If that's the height difference between the d34 and hvt50, then I doubt the 70 will fit.

    HVT-50D will fit easily but it looks like the 70 is too tall (needs ~36mm and you have ~30mm). I’d find a store that stocks both and get a test fit, you never know. The photo in post #142 shows the battery hold down bracket extends wells above the metal edge, indicating you actually have plenty of room.

    The battery sits under the corner where I have the tape measure, so I only have 20mm at a max, otherwise I have to cut that corner out.
    However, I do have a battery here about the same height as the hvt70d, so if it ever stops raining amd I get a dry weekend, I'll rip the airbox out and see if I can squeeze it in

    I have measured my HVT-70D and the case is 208mm high - as per specs. I have the 8M bolts on the cables and they are another 9mm higher than the case.

    The case has a handle at each end which sits flush with the sides and end of the case. it is 9mm square across the end of the case. so if that were removed on the body end of your install it gives you a height of 199mm (for the first 9mm).

    If you are not desperate for an 85Ah -70D then as per the photo above, the -50D at 60Ah has a case that is only about 9 - 10mm taller than the D34.

    Hope you get it sorted soon.
    Cheers, Dale
