Hi

Good luck with the restoration.
The Bosch S4 battery will fit as I had one in my ES the only issue will be the orientation of the terminals. I bought a new battery Positive lead because it was too short to accomadate the S4. The leads are quite cheap and you can buy them at diffent lenghts. Also I thought the original orientation of the battery was a bit strange as the battery clampling bar was close to the terminals and it made much more sense(to me) to have the terminals to the rear of the car.
The other issue I found with the original batteries on sale was that they had no carrying handle which makes removal more of a challenge.
