    Battery tie down (for trunk battery)

    My car didn't have one. Needed one. Got one from a fello R3V member. (thanks)

    Don't know squat about how to put it on. Anybody have any photos, or wouldn't mind walking me through this? Prbably the easiest thing I could possibly to on my car, next to filling the gas tank. But I want to make sure I do it right.


    Remember, there are no stupid questions. Only stupid people, such as myself.

    I'd venture to say 70% of us don't have a tie down. Luckily, I rarely have my car upside down - but I should fab one up anyways.

          I almost didn't pass tech inspection for a track day for not having one. Ended up borrowing a random spare bolt from a Pro3 guy who just so happened to be setting up for a race after our track day. Saved my butt he did. With the battery in the trunk though, I really don't think it is coming out of there, either way, not an issue an more!

            Ha! Thanks fellas. Perhaps I'll post some pictures and show you all how to do it.

                Nope, couldn't figure it out. Definitely a mystery.

                  My tiedown threads are stripped (not on the actual tie down, but the threads in the tray), so it doesn't fucking work. I am hoping I can just grab another battery tray or something and swap them out so I can go to track days and autox. Anyone done this?
