RFC with dual battery set up advice -- type 31 battery

[drwhosc]

I am currently doing a build of a 95 RRC. getting my solar install and want to use a 100ah deep cycle battery. want to use the drivers side battery tray that is already there. moving coil is doable, as is horns an power steering. but to get the type 31 battery in there i will have to move the SRS impact sensor. this one is proving tough.

any one fit a type 31 battery in a RRC with SRS. Was thinking of disabling the SRS since it is quite old and will cost a fortune to replace the air bags. was also thinking of moving the sensor behind the battery onto the fender well.

Oh well lots of looks, but no help. I just got in there and measured. to get a type 31 battery in the rover I would need to the move the SRS impact sensor, and cut about a 1/2 inch out of the radiator mount. I am just going to mount the house battery in the back. I thin it will be much simpler in the long run. I really want those extra 40ah over the type 34 battery that normally fits on out trucks.

My RRC isn’t at my house to measure, but look up the Odyssey PC2250 battery. More capacity than a group 31 but shorter and wider.
