Check if 8 1/2" is height of case only or height to top of battery posts.
If height to top of posts is 9 and a fraction inches you can still use in a
BN1 or 2 but you risk shorting battery to the body if you aren't very
careful and if you didn't insulate the underside of the door well. It fits
all the other cars, though.

Also, the capacity of those original style tar tops is limited and
marginal. Modern batteries are much more energetic and smaller, too. A
12volt battery that will fit the battery tray will do better than two
original tar top 6volt batteries and cost about $50.  So unless you are
going for Concours save your money.
