My car has an Optima red top in it, and it's not secure at all. The hold-down clamp fits against the base of the battery, but the front that should "hook" under the battery has been broken or cut off..

I need to figure out a way to securely hold the battery in place for autocross events..

So with my hold down has been modded to fit the battery (as I read about when searching), or it's just broken, and ordering a new tray is all it'll take (p/n 10402687 )

Or, I may have to break out the welder and start fabbing a hold-down..

Year One sells a "L" shaped battery hold down for our cars.

I know a guy who used one and he said it works great.

The battery holder is all part of the coolant recovery bottle, the guy up top mentioned Year One for a replacment generic holder, they also sell the exact replacment bottle, mine broke too, they all do. Your options are go back stock with a new bottle, or rig up another style hold down. PS-I have a red top too, I went back stock...

I had the same problem and replaced my reservoir/battery hold-down. It was an easy 5 minute job (GM recommends washing the new part out with dishwashing soap first) and the new part cost me $32 at an on-line GM dealer's parts site.

I bought a $10 J-hook kit to hold down the battery, works fine. Autozone. Hooked both under the reservoir, has a bar that goes across the battery. You have to do undo the bolts under the battery to lift up the whole unit to get the j-hooks under it.

I made one just like that from flat stock I got at Lowe's. Turned out looking professional, too!

I made a new lip with some aluminum stock and bolted it to the stock broken battery tray. Held up fine so far
