Default Battery Tiedown Advice Needed

Hi All, the dealership doesn't sell the tiedown kit for this model anymore, so can anyone tell me where I can purchase the bracket that goes across the battery and what length the J hooks need to be?

Or if someone has a link to a kit or all the accessories needed that would be great as well..

Check your local LQK. I bet a DII bracket would fit as well.

Here are the OE part numbers, but once you search them (RN, etc) the prices are somewhat shocking.
The best bet for OE bits is PM abran or paul grant for a used setup.

OR get a universal set from Advance Auto or AutoZone and cut/bend the short J hook to length. It's very simple with a hacksaw and a pliers. They also sell a bracket kit that has a rubber strap and it sucks.
I've used the adjustable plastic bracket (see above) a few times and it works well.
Good Luck!

I added a nylon strap with a j hook on one end and tied it up behind the headlight to the front header. It is not going anywhere and the nylon is good against the acid
