Battery Tie Down?

[dmontzsta]

Does anyone have one? My car does not and after time the ground jiggles loose from the battery moving around. Anyone have pics of their engine bay around the battery? Also, what size optima fits in that slot?

Thanks.

... Also, what size optima fits in that slot?

I bought an Optima PN 75/35-925 a couple of years ago, and it fits ok. The length is just right, but the width is a little small. I cut a galvanized metal strap and bent it to use as a hold-down, and it works very well. I've read of other guys using other Optima sizes that were a little too big, so they had to squeeze them onto the tray.

well the battery hold down on a Mustang is just a little plastic wedge and bolt at the bottom of the tray, sometimes the bolt corrodes and it all gets loose

With the optima red top, that wedge will not tighten down enough.
I bought a universal wedge hold down from autozone and used a different bolt.
Just a little customazation needed.
