I'm about to buy a new battery for my 1970 R4 I notice that the original battery compartment is designed to take a 6 Volt battery sideways on ( with the clamp running along the long side. With the 12volt battery it seems to have to be rotated through 90 degrees to get it in and the clamp put across the middle . Has anyone found a 12volt battery that will fit and be secured in the proper fashion? I don't even know if this was converted privately or whether this one was sold new as 12volt. There seems to be some disagreement as to when the first 12volt versions were sold.
