Y55 Battery
I just finished making my repop version of the Y55 battery today. I had made one just over a year ago for my 68 Z28.
It looks pretty good and started with a R59 Topper, so I had to flip flop the + and the - on the topper for the Y55 battery has the reverse polarity. The positive is on the fender side vs the radiator side. Had to re-paint the caps yellow and drill the center of the lettered cap to install a glass eye as the originals.

Probably the Y77 side post battery on a 04C build, but not 100% sure. Maybe someone with more knowledge on batteries can chime in. Sorry....Dave

Dave, can I ask how you flipped the + and - and what you used for the glass eye? I've got an 02D car with the R59 topper and would be fun to do a similar project.

I used the left over of an original cap the I had to cut off to originally use. However, the cap fit poorly (loose), so I used the repop cap that fit tight and installed the left over of the original Delco cap that I had cut. I made the + with a plastic repair kit and simply modified the original + into a - Hope that helps......Dave
