<VV> vented battery fit & humor

[Bill Hubbell]

Frank, the Group 51 is actually closer in size to a Group 24 (Late Model) 
than to a group 53 (Early Model)  The Group 51 is actually a bit shorter, 
narrower, and not quite as tall as the 24.

Group#    Length  Width  Height (mm)
     24          260     173     225
     51          238     129     223
     53          330     119     210

Well it is nice to know that Costco is selling vented batteries for the
all important early models! :-)

I don't think the group 51 will fit the factory hold downs on a late.
But you could fabricate some long bolts to hold it in place.

Might improve those late model lines....
