Default Any pics of Dynabatt hold downs, pre-made or other......

Any pics of Dynabatt hold downs, pre-made or other? Anyone made their own hold down, and if so, got any pics? Don't really want to spend $100 plus for the hold down. Thanks, Shawn

Helps if you have a welder! Made it from 1/8" steel from the hardware store.

You mean where it is located? It is mounted in the stock battery location. All of the factory stuff (battery hold down, coolant overflow, etc.) is not there. The only thing there is the battery and hold down. The bracket actually uses the same hole for the bolt that the factory hold-down used

mine is just a single piece bent around the battery. it was made out of thin gavenized sheetmetal, bet, then foam tape placed on the under side to make sure it doesnt slide.

I just took black zip-ties and tied the battery to the coolant reservoir. You have to remove the rubber tube from the radiator to do it. Lift the reservoir up out of it's hole in the frame, zip-tie the battery securely to the reservoir lips, and put the reservoir/battery back in the frame hole. The battery is very secure and will not budge at all. It took maybe five minutes to do!

The zip-ties blend in with the black color of the battery and it does'nt look bad at all. Cost of zip-ties = $1.99

bought a sheet of plastic which I wedged in the factory battery hol down. I had to bolts come up from the bottom with an aluminum U channel to secure the battery down. Less than 20 bucks to build and only weighs about a pound
