ahh. Better. 4.99 made by exide.

Because I used the hooks one the outside of the battery tray, I put hard
seat foam (1"thick) in between the shaft of the hook and the side of the
battery. Not underneath.

Zer,
OK, actually went to the auto store here and got a plastic thing that is
in
two pieces which makes it adjustable. It goes across the top of the
battery
and has the two holes you mentioned; and then I got some 8" j-hooks.
I'll
slap it on there sometime this week and then report back. I'm going to
try
to find some rubber mat thing to put under the battery to stop sliding
further - that's a good idea. thanks, Bob

Lol.
Actually it is a battery hold down thingy. It's just rubber and
stretches across the top of the battery with holes for the j hook
nuts.
 
Dunno what else to call it.

Zer,
Sorry to be tedious but when I go to Pep Boys do I ask for a "Rubber
Dog
 Bone"?? What is it used for? Just so's I don't look like an idiot.
Thanks
Zer, Bob

 shucks/autozone/pep boys

there is a rubber dog bone deal that is about 5 bucks. get a set of
8"
 j
 hooks (same store) I had to cut a bunch of a set of 10" j hooks.

hook the j's unber each side of the battey tray. then a couple
peices
 of
 hard foam or similar to make sure the batt doesn't slide in case of
a
 tip
 over.

Other than buying a new hold down or if you don't have access to
welding
 equipment it is the most elegant solution I have used.

Gentlemen,
Anyone have a battery hold down setup for sale for my 69 Ambo? The
tray
is
 
 good and solid, I just need the frame at the top and the two
j-bars.
 
 
 
Or, does anyone have a tip on assembling something from an auto
parts
 
 
 store? I am tired of holding the battery in with bungee cords -
it
 still
 
 slides around.

Thanks, Bob
