[Tigers] Correct battery sizing

[Ron Fraser]

	It did not make sense to me that the original Group 27 battery was
larger than the battery tray so I measured the tray again to check.  I was a
little off.

Battery tray - 6 7/8" x 12 3/16"	That's a better fit for the Group 27
battery.

	I have an Interstate MT-34 battery in my Tiger.

Seems to me there was also an optional battery listed that was a little
longer.  You would have to look to see if that optional battery is still
available.

MT-34 case is 6 3/4"W x 10 1/4"L x 7"H
Tiger battery plastic tray is 6 15/16"W x 11 3/16"L

Was looking to pick up a new battery for the tiger.  Current battery that is
in it is an Interstate 24-50.  I thought I remember that group 24 was the
original size, but I can't remember what reference I found that in.

Poking around, it looks like group 24 is available, it isn't very common
anymore except in marine batteries.

Looking at the optima site, they pulled up a size 34 battery for the Sunbeam
tiger.

Since I'm not really worried about concourse, Is group 34 that what other
people are running as a practical matter?  Or is there another size that
makes more sense?

Thanks,
Steve
