Im taking my car upto a local auto-x tommarrow, and I need to find a way to get my battery tied down so i can pass tech, before it was just sitting there, now as a temp i just have a giant zip tie holding it. its not a stock battery, its a small *** die hard, so all the stock tie down stuff is gone, any ideas on how i can do this and make it look pro, so i can race??? any ideas welcome

thanks -adam

Maybe a nylon ratcheting tie-down strap? I think all you need is for it not to move when the techs try to shake it with their hands.

What I would do is make a little metal bottom plate and use rachet straps to hold it down. Shouldnt be a problem.

One of our guys up here once had to duct tape a battery in place. They let him drive.

Get some of that metal zip tie sort of stuff and just snag her tight

Dude, just go to the parts stora and buy a tie-down. They have a selection at any Autozone, Pepboys, etc...

^^^ like he said. I used to work at a drag strip. Although most times they would let you get by with a bungee cord or something, they were always very happy to see a real bracket hold that thing down.

yeah i think, ill just use a ratcheting tie down strap, i got one of those tie-down things from shucks, but there isnt anything to bolt it to.... so yeah thanks for the help

My 'vert has a battery tray with holes for the hooks of the tie down. I would invest in some sort of tray just for some decent support if you don't have anything. Doesn't have to be fancy...

Is this attitude? Dude, just get a ****** drill and use the j-hooks to hold the tie down.

You're welcome for the help.
