Battery hold downs

Do they sell the hold downs for these batteries some where? The battery trays from the donor truck didn't have them I know they screw into the trays but I can find a set that will definitely fit and I really don't like the wedge style they sell for our trucks. Thanks

I replace like two or three automotive batteries every day and I still have no idea what you're talking about.

This is what he wants:

97 1997 Ford F350 Battery Hold Down - Body Electrical - Dorman - PartsGeek

Just did a quick google search. Theyre dorman so I would guess your local parts store would have them.

Just reread. Saw that you didn't like the wedge style. I believe this is what he's talking about now:

Yes they look like all thread with a bar across the top I have 2 pieces of the threaded rod with a head on them for a socket but no bar I'd like to get 2 new sets for the batteries they hold better then the wedge style

I like the wedge style a LOT better. That bracket style is a pain in the butt.

I have two of these: Buy Autocraft Universal Battery Hold-Down AC101/A14062 at Advance Auto Parts holding down the batteries in the '85 IDI. The top bridges are actually rubber and very flexible. Had to trim them some to fit the group 65s.
