I just put mine in my factory battery tray and used the factory hold down. Its good and tight. . .

i also used the factory bracket on my 442, but i put a short piece of heater hose between the holddown and battery for a tighter fit.

Do you guys have metal battery trays my grand prix doesn't have a metal tray where the battery sits is molded into the fenderwell and it has the plastic strap that goes over the top of the battery and the front screws into the rad support

I removed the charcoal canister and put a battery tray there it fit perfect. Im running 2 optima's in my 79 el camino. Will try to grab some pics in the morning.
