Nick if your standing at the front then the Positive is closest to the bumper and on the left of the battery.
Must be a library picture or something.

The terminals WILL fit regardless of the layout. Just turn the battery 180 degrees so they are on the correct side.
The cables WILL go on.
I've done a bit of research on batteries and emailed a few companies.
I've got the list at home. If you wait until tonight I'll post up the details.

I changed mine a few weeks ago. You have got to make sure the terminals are on the correct side. I initially got the wrong battery (well it was exactly the same but the terminals were the incorrect side) and had to change it as the cables wouldn't reach.

If it does reach, you have many more options with some much higher CCA outputs. Standard Honda battery is 330 CCA. The ones on my list that fit are up to 540CCA which is a massive improvement on cold cranking.
