    Default battery problem

    ive got a new battery but can't secure it properly in my car, it is just sitting there, any ideas of how i can secure it so it won't move around at all?

    tuck the little plastic pieces on the side near the bottom of the battery into the metal lip on the battery tray & then tighten the bolt on the other side in the little bracket. There! all secured just like the factory intended

    sounds like you got the wrong bat in it. the correct batery has the bits at the bottom for the mount. it should be a centery 57 or equiverlent.

    Try GMH or the wreckers. You need the bolts and the plates that keep your battery in check.
