I have an Optima battery in my Formula and always get the sideways look from the tech's in any type of racing I do. That little rubber wedge is not gonna cut it.

I found some hold down kits, but they look like cheesey Pep Boys clearance items. Also, the Optima is a larger battery.

Does the battery tray come out? I noticed bolts, but have not removed it. Also, how did you secure it?

I like the billet hold down look. I am trying to keep a clean appearance, but functional too.

Thanks for any help!

 

The battery tray is spot welded in. It can come out for replacement (due to rust or. . .), but you have to drill out the spot weldes. I believe the track wants to see 3/8" stud hardware. I purchased my moroso hardware from summit.
