#126091, "battery tie down"


          

So here's the thing I plan on getting into some autox / time attack in the very near future, the only problem is the track rules state the I have to have my battery bolted down. I've tried searching and was not able to come up with an answer, so is there a battery tie down kit for our cars or would I have figure out how to fab one up?

I've got an extra stock one. It's just a bar that goes over the top and bolts to the strut tower and a long J bolt that hooks under the battery tray.

Yes, stock.

Or use a generic tie down kit.

Or just fab one up.

Multiple choice.

I still have the bar that went across the battery on my car, so I got some allthread at Home Depot and bent a hook onto one end.

Hmm I wouldn't pass tech.. there's no way I can get a tie on my battery but its wedged so tightly in between the strut tower and upper IC pipe it won't move if I lean against it with all my might

lol

LOL. get a small piece of rectangular steel and bend it so that it'll clamp the battery at the base and run a bolt through it and the opening for the Jbolt. they'll pass that
