Battery

Could any one post a pic of how the battery is held in the tray please? Mine is just sitting there with nothing to hold it securely. I now I am missing parts but I need to see what I am missing and how they work.

Re: Battery

I was using the conventional wire clamp across the top, but got tired of it always corroding no matter what I painted it with. So I bought the Attwood tray shown below just to get the bracket off the top. It works perfectly. To attach it at the front, I use an eye bolt. I cut away part of the eye loop, leaving a hook which fits into a hole in the radiator support. The backside uses a conventional J bolt.

And here's what it looks like in the truck:

Re: Battery
