1953-1967 Tar Topper Delco 8-1/4 Terminal Flat Top Batteries
Fits all Corvette maintenance free, flat top, batteries from Delco, Exide, Napa, Autolite, Interstate, etc with original 8 ¼” terminal spacing.
The Tar Topper Corvette Battery Cover was designed to impart a correct vintage Corvette look to modern group 24 batteries. It will fit virtually any Delco, Exide, NAPA, flat top, maintenance free battery, and most group 24 batteries with the original terminal spacing. As seen in the product photos, It lips approximately 1/2 inch over the top of the battery for a convincing look. In some applications, it may be advisable to slightly trim the perimeter for a better fit.
As can be seen in the cutaway, it is easily trimmed (primary construction is .090 temp resistant ABS). The top dimensions of the D/E are identical to an original group 24 battery so that all original hold downs (including G.M. perimeter types) will work.
