Hi Steve,

I have used '100' batteries in my 75 (Yuasa and Exide) and the lid does fit. It appears that there is some variation in the case size depending upon brand. If it's no more than 175mm high it will clear the lid.

In my view, having extra capacity is always handy, particularly with a diesel engine so I would go for a '100' if you can but as MarinaBrian says, an 096 will suffice.
