12 volt Battery in Battery Box

[Jack Shaft]

The way I heard it there are only two main lead acid battery manufacturers in America, Exide and Johnson Controls. I run a group 25 no problem

Sorry, i might not have been real clear. The link that you had to Bratton's showing the battery support is all there is. It is a battery support, so not really a "box". If you have the battery support, that came on every Model A frame produced. The battery just sets down in the support. The original battery fit perfect in the support, new ones now are a little smaller so the original hold down clamps don't work as well.

Thank you for the clarification. I was scratching my head. Sometimes newer cars actually have a plastic battery box.

Jack, Is that hold down of yours custom made. Could you give some more detailed info on how to make one like that?

The OEM battery support works fine for the Groups 1 & 25 batteries. The problem is that the OEM hold-down clamps do not work well.

Bob, What did you use to hold down the battery?
