Battery tie downs

So I'm finally getting around to replace my missing battery tie down. Does anyone know if the stock (https://shop.broncograveyard.com/Bat...uctinfo/38015/) will fit a group size 65 battery? Otherwise i'm open to suggestions.

I'll go out on a limb here and say yes, based on my set up. Last Fall I put a new battery tray in.

That's where all this stuff sits. I also mounted the circuit breakers for the 7 pin connector for the trailer hitch on the side of that box.

My truck is has EFI.

Can’t tell you if it will fit a group 65 battery. I do have one of those reproduction holddowns (from Dennis Carpenter) and it measures 6-5/16” inside, where it fits across the top of a battery.

The box is also a vacuum storage reservoir for the AIR and EGR systems.

pretty sure group 65 battery is almost 7.5" across.
