Default Batteries for 1969 911

Hi Folks,

After 5 years, it's time for new batteries (dual). Anyone know where one can get these unique sized batteries locally (GTA) ?
Brent Hunter is checking, but I'd hate to have to wait too long now that rain is less frequent in the forecast.

Much appreciated.

Wouldn't a couple of Duracell AA's work with that car?

Not the type of help I was hoping for but I will give it some consideration (You've been socializing too much with The Iceman).

The next battery I get will be an Optima battery.

Hey Glen, I hope these links help.

Thanks for the help
I am picking up two interstate U911's tomorrow. As the years move on these are becoming more and more rare to find, so maybe next time the Optima may be the consideration. Would like to keep things as original as possible, rather than conversion to single battery and mounting in the smuggler's box.
Hey Mark, can you get these batteries across the border from Pelican with no issues ?

Hi Glen, it's Zims not Pelican for the battery, I normally would have the battery sent to Can Am Mailbox in Niagra Falls. The optima battery doesn't leak even when mounted upside down. Zims is pretty known by P car guys.
