 :wink: ty for the offer but i just bit the bullet and went down halfrauds and bought a hd caclium all singing and dancing one for 96 of my hard earned pennys

 :shock: even though when fitted my battery clamp is about a inch to short in height and depth to clamp it down ???

been back to the shop and made sure i bought the right one even took in the clamp with me to measure and it wont fit even the standard battery they say is made to "original equipment spec" odd innit

so now ive gotta make a new clamp some how  :evil:

fit the clamp in different holes on the tray (the hole fot the bulb replacement gets used alot and there are lots of holes the other side of the battery)

good old cable ties, that's whats holding the one i have in at the moment that i am trying, as i had the same problem.

if your clamp is the same as mine, i think if you bent out and flattened the bits in the middle it would fit OK, as there is no gap for that bit to fit into.
