Battery issues in a '76 Spider

[jason.glover@domain.elided]

First, as most of you know the battery in a late 70's 
Spider is mounted in the trunk. Since I am not the first, 
or even the second owner of my car, the actual mounting 
hardware is a mystery to me. Could anyone describe or send 
me a picture of what it's supposed to look like. Right now 
I'm relying on a funky bracket I made and some bungee 
cords.

Second, does it make any difference what size (Cranking 
amps...) battery you put in a Spider? I have the little 
black plastic tray that the battery sits on and my only 
inclination is to make sure the battery fits on it and 
that it's short enough doesn't contact the fender. Are 
there any electrical issues I need to be aware of? Also, 
I'm planning on buying my new battery at Costco, so if 
anyone has a particular model they recommend, please let 
me know.
