I wish to run at Rotorstock, but after checking my car over to make cirtain it\'s good for it, I noticed that my battery has nothing to make it stay put ......... I\'ve been thrashing it all this time with my battery leaning towards the power steering pullies!!!!

Can anyone help / know where to get something / has a pic of what should be there.

Thank you please!

here\'s what mine looked like Japan side, looks like it\'s a fairly usual 2 long bolts with a thingy (Si uses his expert mechanical terms once more http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/5/5_3_1.gif\' border=0>) on top bolted onto said er bolts....to hold battery in place.
Can see a couple of strappy bits too dunno whether they\'re for lifting battery out or owt.......
Si (dunno owt but here\'s pikky)

Ahh!

So I need a bar thingy, two long bolt thingys and what looks like a couple wing nut thingys.

Thank you Si ........ another lesson well learned from the smilie master

Just let me know if I over do it

Three cheers for Si

scooby_si

on a serious note does your battery sit on like a er battery seat (daddy http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_4_5.gif\' border=0> of technical terms strikes again) which has the necessary holes either side of where battery sits for the bolt wotsits to go into?

PS wing nuts r those with like ears http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008\' target=\'_blank\'>http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_6_12.gif\' border=0> aint they these are just normal nuts i believe.....

I had this problem aswell. You can get a battery securing kit from halfords which works a treat :) it just needs a bit of hacksaw work to make it fit (it\'s a universal jobby so it\'s way too big)
about a fiver I think :cool

Sean

Cheers Si, I shall look in a moment.

How do I get a smillie to appear instead of a link? ie:

Sean

This is what I have found to be the remains of a battery holder:
Any thoughts?

scooby_si

Ref yer smilie link if you see yer message you have [ url ] & [ /url ] around the location rather than [ img ] & [ /img] which would make it appear as an image (less all the spaces i put in as well of course)
