The battery should be held in place by two J bars and another bar that fits diagonally across the top, with some nuts holding it down.

The plastic housing doens\'t actually hold the battery in place

well i dont have the j bars or that can you buy them?

you should be able to get them at a motor factor or car spares shop.

they are literally a piece of metal in the shape of a J. the bottom of the J will hook into a hole near/on the base of the battery tray. The top of the J should be threaded for some nuts to go on.

As for the bar that goes across the battery and holds it down, I am not sure if a car spares place would sell it, as it needs to be the correct length to have the holes on either end in the position for the threaded part of the J bars....I guess you just have to see...
