Hold down for battery?

Unfourtuntly my car came with a bungie cord holding the battery in place, so I was wondering what the stock hold down piece actually looks like or if there's something alittle better that I can make...so If anyone has some pics of what they did or of a stock on so I have something to build from it would be great.

I was kinda thinking on building a nice polished one or somthing, but I have no idea what the stock one looks like or how it mounts to anything so if you have some pics of yours or if anyone else has some pics I would love to see them.
