Battery tray

My battery has nothing holding it down since I got my car. What is supposed to hold it in place? Can someone send me a pic of the stock set up or link to the correct aftermarket part?

Thanks in advance

Re: Battery tray

Thanks for posting that pic. But How does that hold the battery down?

Re: Battery tray

You put it over the lip that is on the battery at the bottom that's facing the firewall and screw it down using the bolt and the hole that's provided at the base of the tray.

If The Battery Is Vehicle Specific, It Will.
