[Mgs] Battery tie down

[atweditor at aol.com]

 I know that in colder weather the battery actually shrinks just enough to be
slightly loose. Also, I was told the story by the folks at Mountjoy in
Hyattsville, MD of a guy going over the very bumpy railroad tracks by that
shop and having the battery pop up enough for both terminals to hit the metal
cover, and the battery exploded. Perhaps urban myth, but my 2X2 keeps me a
little safer, maybe.

Gravity is plenty, unless you are offroading, a group 26 wedges in there
pretty

tightly.  If you ever end up upside down the battery coming loose is the least

of your concerns.

Hi list,



I replaced my 2 six volt batteries in my MGB with a single 12 volt.



As of right now I do not see how to tie down or to secure the battery.



Any suggestions?



Thanks,



Craig
