Default Pure MS strut bar install w/ Sears Diehard battery...
Does NOT fit. I mean, there's no way. It's beyond a close tolerance fit, I had to unbolt the battery and lift it up to get the bar though the gap, but the angle is still WAY off.

Anyone running this combo?

TIA

I don't have Sears battery...(still running with the OEM) Did u try to push/slide the batter back(towards the windshield) It should move back about 1/4 inch.

Default Base on the spacing between the battery and the firewall, there should be plenty of space for the...
bar to slide in. It is pretty slim, correct? Sorry I don't have the PureMS bar.

Default Awesome... thanks for the photo.
Yeah, there's no way. It's the Sears Diehard International.

Default I don't want to ship it. That's more money I lose...
I'm already going to eat the shipping if someone takes it off my hands.
