I’ve been looking at the adhesive caps but don’t want to block the vents if that’s what those small holes are. If those caps are threaded, perhaps they can be swapped out for the threaded Mopar style caps, assuming the thread size is the same.

topside Too Many Posts Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 20,759 A collage of whims	The reason I asked the question a few posts previously is this: I bought the decal and adhesive-backed cap kit from the guy in Belgium. Decals are nice - though they won't fool folks who know what the real Mopar batteries (embossed lettering) look like. The caps require a battery with a flat & featureless top, which I couldn't find at the time. I also bought the top cap from Year One and ended up using that on one car. But the cap is wider than the hold-down, which was a pain to make fit. For the top cap, the Duralast Group 24 was the best fit & least-inaccurate appearance. So, I'm still wondering what battery was used for the illustration the OP posted.
