Anybody have a picture of what the battery hold down should look like on a '50 Commodore?   I have the battery tray and frame but that is it.   Thank you...k

    Thanks Ken.  I'm missing the upper tie down strap that goes around the battery.  Guess I'll have to head back into the fab shop...k

    Problem here is that the old batteries from back then were a bit taller than todays batteries. Need to fab some longer threaded 'j' hooks.

    What about sitting the 'shorter' battery on a spacer? Maybe wood?

    The bolts are pretty easy to fab.   I am planning on using an Optima 6 volt battery inside a faux case that is supposed to look like a period-type battery.  Not sure of the height of the case.   I think I can use small guage angle iron to fabricate the upper part of the hold down...
