Be careful running batteries in parallel. They can discharge through each other.

Good point John,
I've just found that Moss do heavy duty 6v ones for about £45 collected, so I think I'll stay with 2 x 6v. I might get a couple of battery boxes while I'm at it as well.
Many thanks
Mart

In the States, you get a Group 26 ir 26R, 12 volt battery. That's what I'm running in my '69 roadster.
