Battery hold down bracket
 
Does anyone know or have fabbed a battery hold down when relocating the battery into one of the storage bins? If you have something like that put up some pics, i'd like to get ideas. Thanks

regular battery needs to be vented but a spiral cell such ads an Optima doesn't need to be.
I got lucky and grabbed a Made to fit Optima cage from Ebay.
If you are using the Optima Red then This one here is the cheapest I just found:

anyone got images of how they installed the box in the bins? did you drill the floor for the bolts or use any other method?

I got an Fc,but yes I did just drill through the floor and bolted it in.
You can get grommets(what I did) and drill holes for the cables and feed them through the floor too.(or just run the cable inside under the carpet,and then out of the firewall to whatever)
