[Tigers] Correct battery sizing

[awtiger]

Wasn't the original-sized battery for a Tiger a Group 27?  Admittedly, I 
don't know if they still make that size, but if originality is your goal, I 
believe that there is a Lucas Group 27 reproduction battery available on the 
market.  They are made along the same lines as the Autolite Group 24F 
battery that I used to run in my '65 Shelby; original-looking reproduction 
case with fresh innards.  I never really had any trouble with the Autolite 
unit in my Shelby; it worked just like a new battery and lasted about as 
long, too.
