So, if you buy a standard, modern maintenance free, black box battery to use as the starting point, what exactly are you screwing the caps into? Nothing, they are push in caps, not screw in ones.

The question I have is: Who do you think you're fooling ?!?!? Maybe that guy who says his dad had one of those but it was a 383 hemi !!! Who are you fooling with the expensive reproductions?? If you have one that looks original AND works, it's not original.

If you have one that looks original AND works, it's not original. You have that right, the last repro batteries were junk. I will take a lead acid battery any day over the mini battery in a case for a car to drive.

Which modern battery would look right once the caps & labels are added ? The ones I see look a lot different than the illustration: ribs, recesses, handles, etc. I bought the $23 kit and an off-the-shelf Group 27 Wal-Mart Everstart. I removed the handle, decals, and popped off the vent caps. The red caps are a perfect fit for the holes, and do have small vents on top. Looks like the guy made them on his 3-D printer. No, it won't fool someone up close that it is a genuine repop battery, but for the price and almost zero work I have something that looks like it belongs under the hood.

anyone know a group 27 battery with no strap? like the OP's picture here's a Costco / Interstate group 27 battery & no one is trying to fool anyone - is the $400 reproduction even available & will it out last the current company offering them?

Leave the stickers off and it would look more like the original.

Looks great. I just went with their stickers now thinking I should have gotten the caps also. I'm not trying to fool anyone just think it looks better with it saying Mopar than Everstart.
