Battery Fit in 83

[A83]

Well, back from Advanced Auto and Auto Zone.  Egg on my face!  Both places confirmed the battery bolt size on the new battery is a metric size M6-1.0 not the 3/8" the person from Battery Web told me.  Plus my existing battery bolt is a 3/8" .  So in the meantime I bought a top to side conversion terminal with a 3/8" thread which will fit the existing bolt.  Advanced Auto had a pair, Auto Zone does not carry them in the store but I think you can order them online.

 End result for now, I will put the Odyssey top post converter on then use the new terminal to reconvert to a side post.  It looks like it all fits pretty well except the washer on the existing cable end which is about 7/8" across is slightly larger then the bolt and of the conversion terminal which I hope is not a problem. Wouldn't have gone through this if the battery did fit so well.  Once done will take it to a mechanic to get it looked at because I have to take the car in to get some other stuff checked out anyways. 

Thanks for all your help and thanks for listening to all my posts.  Hope I can help you all someday.

Regards

See my corrections regarding the sizes.  I goofed up.  Will try to see if I can link up some pictures and links.  Have to figure that out.  Wife should know.  

Thanks Wayne you have been a great help.  I did get The terminal adapter you linked in earlier post.

Okay here are the photos with the new battery - fits very nicely in the space - now I will configure a way to learn lock it down.  Thanks again to everyone you were a big help help.
