    Battery tray organizer

    I just picked one up. It has a hole in the bottom as if it's supposed to secure to the battery tray. Does anyone know how? I've searched and couldn't find anything. I've googled it too and can't seem to come up with much. And do you think it is stable enough to hold a gallon of coolant? I have a milk crate in there now to hold various stuff, oil, jumper cables, etc. So it would be nice to free up some space.

    Why would you carry a gallon of coolant in the car? If it is using coolant there is a leak or the head gasket is bad. Makes more sense to me to fix the problem that is causing the loss of coolant.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      There's an expanding screw that goes there that's apparently usually lost. I got one on the organizer I bought just by chance. However I don't use it (haven't poked the corresponding hole in the top of the battery cover) and the organizer stays in place just fine.

        No coolant leak. Just good ol' fashioned paranoia. :grin:

        Cool. Thanks. Any way you can post a pic to get an idea of what the screw looks like?

              Thanks! That's pretty weird looking. Haha. I work at a lexus dealership and have seen all kind of clips, etc., but never anything like that. I'll have to see if we've got something I can make work. Thanks again.
