Re: [a2-16v-list] A2 Batteries- Group 41: Other sizes that will fit?

I took the factory hold down and ground a semi circular relief in the battery side edge to make it fit around the curve of the center cell. You also have to bend the same edge downward so it contacts the foot on the Optima before the hold down bolt is all the way tight (it will be way easier if you heat the bracket cherry red with a MAPP or Oxy- Acetylene torch). That allows the bracket to press the foot of the Optima down securely to the battery tray. You may be able to avoid having to bend the bracket by using one of the adaptors (wing or puck adaptors).
