The Parts Place now offers a new battery topper for us guys with side-post batteries. Ordered one last week and it came in this morning and looks really nice. Will post pics as soon as I have a chance to put on the car.
Here's the listing on our website: "Now there's no need to buy an expensive original style battery.
