Aftermarket battery box,tray, holdown?
Hi folks,
So my battery tray has finally turned to dust, and my battery is now just sliding around. It seems that in-tact battery trays are somewhat hard to come by in the parts section, and a replacement tray + holddown hardware will be ~$100 from MazdaTrix.
I was curious to know if anyone has already installed some sort of aftermarket or universal part to retain the battery, in lieu of the stock components?

As a temporary fix, I got a generic battery hold down from Autozone/Advanced Auto (?) that has a strap and a pair of J bolts then just cut down the extra threaded stock so it doesn't look terrible.

I'll sell you a brand new factory battery tray for half that price............if I still have it. Gotta look around the garage tomorrow. I know I've got a good used one at least.

think there would be a problem to mount one in between radiator and front mount?
