Battery Tie Down help

[Fubar231]

So im going to the track tomorrow and need to have the battery tied down. I got a bunjee cord to strap it down with, but i cant find any good ways to do it. Anyone have theirs tied down and how? Any help appreciated.

You need a piece of metal with a hole on each end and a rod thats bent at one end and threaded at the other.

IIRC, new battery tie downs from toyota are like $20.

Yup stock one is best but can be made also. I ordered mine from driftmotion.

I need to figure somethin out for tomorrow , dont have time and $ to hunt this down. Ill see what i can do then.

buy the "j" hook bolts from a auto parts store, a 1/8x2 piece of steel, drill and a bolt to fit in place of a stock one.

Rigged it. Hope it passes inspection

Bungee cords will *NOT* pass inspection. It needs to be bolted in.

Hope it does, the person whos renting out the track is the one who told me to use a bungee cord. Its what he uses on his formula.

Just get a universal one so you don't end up going home.
