I woud advocate clamping it down. You can get them from the usual places like Just Kampers for not much money.

Not quite as you won't have the fitting in the base of the battery tray for that.

More like the second pic here

Insecure battery is now an MOT fail so it needs a bracket of some sort, 2 shortish pieces of threaded rod through the floor of the opposite battery tray and a flat piece of bar to go across the top of the battery and a couple of wingnuts. Sorted :lol:

Graham's right, I bought a similar clamp to the one from Bush Batteries and found that the rods that go from top to bottom were too short.
I ended up using a threaded bar cut and shaped to a suitable length as Graham suggests.






I fitted my split charge inside, at the top of the engine bay where the engine lid is hinged and secured the cable to the clips for the brake light cables with cable ties.
Electric hook up mounted behind spare wheel well.
