I can answer that by just looking at the photo of a 100 in my battery compartment. There are actually two places whereby you can screw in the strap retainer. With the 100 it is in the widest hole setting, there is one further in so as to fit a slightly smaller battery.
Irrespective of battery capacity the 100 is the perfect dimension parameter.

And a question for SD1too, (Simon?) is it incorrect to fit such a large capacity battery that is over-rated for the alternators charging capacity? With either a resultant failure of the alternator or inadequate charging of the battery?

It's just in the depths of my memory I was once informed this....
Thanks.
