Battery hold down bracket
HI,
I am trying to find out what is the correct battery hold down bracket retainer for the battery. My battery is sitting on the tray only. I don't see any holes, nor a way to use an universal kit.
Any suggestions appreciated.

It looks like this:

It uses a bolt with a captive washer.

Re: Battery hold down bracket
My factory battery had a little rubber hold down that went on the back side. This is it

After I changed batteries I ended up making a new one. All of this was because the previous owner changed the cables to a new style

I believe the bolt hole is a standard M8 maybe M8 x 1.25.
I just welded a bolt into a piece of square stock and drilled a hole in the side for the hold down hook.
