Garry , I agree, back in '76 all batteries were black.
At the moment I have just fitted a yellow gel type battery and I must admit it looks awful from the side.

Of course, as Keefleaf says there was a half size black plastic tray that the battery fits in and this tends to cover the battery a bit.... I could never understand this, it has a hole in each corner to let the accumulated acid out.
It might just be there to make sure the battery is tightly secure.

Looking good, Gary

Is this the tray you're after?
