George,
I haven't been able to find a generic at Pep Boys.
I assume you need a hold down bracket which secures at the end instead
of on the sides, like mine.
What I did was made (you can buy at Pep Boys) four "J"hooks and threaded
them. Ground a flat on 1/2 inch angle aluminum and drilled both ends.
Hook "J" into slot on side of battery box, one going forward, one going
back on each side. Insert threaded end through hole in angle aluminum and
secure with nuts and washers.
You have one pice of angle aluminum front and back of the battery, held
in place by "J" hook at each end. Angle of aluminum rests on edge of
battery and you have a decent looking hold down.
Boy, I'm not sure that made any sense. Let me know if you don't understand.
Best Regards,
Tony
