Holding Down a Starter Battery

[Ceecee85]

I've never had a battery strap on the starter battery since I've owned my van- it's held in the engine bay with a bungy cord which works well enough but I'd really like to put a proper fixing strap on it. I've got a 1.6 n/a diesel- it's an 85. Anyone got a picture of what the thing looks like- or can you steer me towards one either on this site or the mighty interweb thingy. I've Googled for images of engines bays etc. but to no avail.

Thanks in advance, Steve.

It is just an angled plate that catches the lip on the bottom of the battery, bolted through the bottom of the battery tray. You should find the hole there that has a captive nut underneath.

Thanks OBG. The captive nut's there, I just need the bit of angled metal then. Oh, and the bolt . Cheers.
