no the posts would have hit the cowl.....and the cable were too short to reach either way...mostly the ground cable...its real short on a W123.

Well, I tried to but an Otipma, but Sam's Club guys insted it would not fit in the battery tray -too high for the hood cleasrance. And that's in an 1984 330Sd T/Diesel. So?
