[Mgs] Battery tie down

[Max Heim]

Hmm, the problem with reusing the factory holddowns is that there isn't room
on the sides for the long bolts. So I don't see how this kit would work
either, with my battery. Obviously, batteries vary in dimensions -- mine is
not so stuck that it couldn't bounce on a California freeway expansion joint
(not to mention some of the rally roads), so I am using a bungee.

If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the primer red one with chrome wires
