Battery Vent Tube 1977 450SL (r107)
I have a '77 107 with the battery in a box in the trunk. I just replaced it (Walmart everstart maxx 49 -$77) and the battery has a vent tube, but no vent in the car that I can find. My '05 SL has a vent tube through the trunk floor. Anyone know if there is one?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Thanks. I read that in the old days (ie 1977) batterys didn't have vents. Guess it's true. Maybe that's why the "vault" used to enclose the battery in case of explosion?
