Battery tie bar (pics)
When I bought my 98 SE, to my surprise I didn't find anything that would hold the battery in place, so I had to make a visit to Home Depot (damn i love that place!!!!) 
used 3/4" square tubing, round tubing and a dremel!
Guys check it out, let me know what you think?

thats awesome. much better than the rubber crap-piece i got from AutoZone for mine since i didnt have one when i bought it either.
how did you attach the tube sections to the box section? i want to make one for my mine.

guys thanks for the props 
bullfrog: inside the tube section there is a long screw (one of those long threaded rods they have at Home Depot) and I drilled a hole in the battery tray put a nut on the bottom and thats it

ok guys, I see that a lot of people like this so what I was thinking is, since I have access to CNC machines I might design a brace and put it for sale and make custom ones whatever, anyone besides MrRogerStatus would be interested?

All right guys, right now, I'm in the process of designing one for the CNC Machines and those will have custom letters/number cut out (e.g. VQ 30 or Maxima) however that will take a little time ~ 2weeks, and will run for about $25 if you want the same one I have, its $20 shipped. PM me whoever is interested.

This is a little off topic. but would a custom tie down need to be made for certain batteries? i upgraded to a optima redtop and its conciderably smaller than my die hard.. small enough to where the threading on the posts dont go far enough down...
Would this be a way of solving that? if so i might be down for this deal lol...
BTW, for the mean time i stuck a bunch of cardboard under it to raise the battery up

Huh it's funny, that's my brother's old car... I was in the backyard a couple of weeks ago and was checking some things and I saw a battery tie down. My car has it, my pops has it, so I was like where did this come from, I gues my brother must have never put it back when he replaced the battery. Nice job Eugene, looks good.
