I made a battery hold-down yesterday (the battery is just a little too high for the original one to work) to replace the temporary bungee cord field-expedient job. I used two 3/16" x 5" galvanized bolts from Home Depot, some hex nuts, a few lock washers and flat washers. The bolts went through the two 1/4" holes in the top of the frame on each side of the battery, held in by a flat washer top and bottom and a single nut and lock washer. I made a strap out of 1" wide aluminum bar with a hole on each end for the bolts, and used a single flat washer, lock washer, and hex nut on each side. Works great.
