battery problem

[vpcommo]

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?

 

[NORTI]

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

there are no plastic pieces on the bottom of the battery tho

id say your missing the bit that holds it in, maybe go to the wreckers and pinch one from there

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.

do u know how much those batteries cost and where i could get one of those bolts?

 

[minimefx]

i think it's around $100 and any supercheap, repco etc that sell bateries will have one

 

[vpcommo]

can i get one of those bolts from there too?

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