Default Battery hold down
I saw in the past that people used the battery hold down from YearOne. It looks like they dont have these anymore or they are totally out of stock. Does anyone have the specs for the bends/lengths? I THINK I know a guy who can fan one... Or another alternative? Im not going to buy a reservoir just for it to break again.

This? It lets me add it to the cart, does it say no longer available elsewhere? I have one installed but it'd be a few days before I can get you measurements.

Yeah it says "arriving soon" below the part number.

You can the stock battery holder parts from Dorman through any parts store...

https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...ay-holder.html

This YearOne thing is an aftermarket solution/part. (I've never seen this before.)

If you put a new stock coolant tank in (includes the bracket), you should be good for another 20 years.,

I'll take your word for it then. I just know that the bracket will prevent breaking another one. I'll just order a new tank.

Easy enough to bend a piece of 1 inch aluminum bar stock, pop a couple holes and done. $10 at your local hardware store and 30 mins.

That could cost you a few points at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance....
