    What Are You Using For A Battery Tie-Down?

    I'm looking into a battery tie-down. What brands/set ups are you guys using? Pics would be great.
    Thanks

    btw, I don't know if e30s come with one from the factory, but my car has none. The battery just sits in the tray.

    1" ratchet strap. Never had a tech problem and, more importantly, never had a safety problem.

            That's a race battery...

                How is the lower portion of the threaded rod attached?

                          I'm running a much smaller battery to save weight (I live in Florida, so I don't need starting power in the winter). I just modified #10 with some 1/4" sheet metal, works great, looks factory, and passes tech anywhere.

                            Got a picture? I have no #10 in my car.

                              The battery is bolted to the tray and the tray is bolted to the car.
