Default Battery for Spec C

Hopefully someone can help out.
I am looking for a new battery for my 2002 spec c - smaller than the standard sti I believe.

Where can you get these from? I have tried a few places, including Halfords, but no joy.

Thanks in advance

Look in the Spec C Windscreen thread a few pages back..... someone mentioned getting a replacement battery on there.

Have you tried Demon Tweeks - it may not be OEM but you can get batteries in all sorts of sizes. Including small heavy duty specifically light weight sizes like the Spec C.

Just checked - they are indeed - tapering to 12mm maximum.

I would still try Demon Tweeks. The other obvious place is Iain at Litchfield Imports.

i know hales was looking a while ago for one, pointed him @ litchfields altho unsure if he got it there.... As the windsceen thread says Bosch do a standard size with the smaller fittings so maybe they do a battery also....

Thanks guys,
I spoke to Iain Litchfield but he just pointed me in the direction of any good battery supplier

I have asked Prosport to investigate - it is going in for a service next week.

I will try Demon tweeks.

Nige, i will let you know.
