Default Battery Hold down?

It seems that my stock battery hold down is not clamping down on my Autozone battery. What aftermarket hold downs are you guys using? Would this summit univeral battery hold down work?

My stock battery hold down, along with MANY others on this board, has been broken the hell off since i got the car. No problems at all Not really a whole lot of places it can go. I've been running it for over 2 years, it moves a little bit if you TRY to move it, but its fine.

Year one makes a battery strap that will hold it down. It's specifically made for our cars. It costs about $16. It's under the Electronics category in the Miscellaneous Components section.

No hold down here. It is so tight in there in does not move at all. I have a red top Optima battery.

At Autozone They Sell A "l" Shape Piece Of Metal From The Battery Hold Down Kit, Buy It And Cut 1/4 In Of The Edge, Then Remove The Bolt That Is In Front Of The Top Of The Battery, Then Put The "l" Metal Bolted From That Bolt. That Should Hold It Down
