    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!

                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?
