Ian Goss Services have them on the shelf 0208-546 1992, Bauer Millett, Or OCW in London. I normally just stick with what was on the car new AC Delco.

Optima Red Top is your best bet, if you google Optima Batteries UK you should be able to find someone that stocks the one with the front posts. I can't remember the exact spec you want or the dimensions so you will need a tape measure to measure yours and also read the spec off your battery for example CCA rating is cold cranking amps which is the most important thing.

There are also various threads on here and also www.corvetteclub.org.uk on this subject so do a search and you should find all the information you need.

www.batterymegastore.co.uk stock them, I got mine from a welsh company called Supac in Bridgend. www.supac.co.uk
