After my engine bay clean up and battery tray painting jobs I wanted to solve my battery hold down problem. I know the car was meant to have a MT24 battery but I’ve had originally bought a MT34 which is almost identical just about 1 in shorter. I didn’t have a stock hold down and knew it wouldn’t accommodate an MT34 anyway because of where it bolts to the firewall. I had been using a ghetto nylon strap but finally decided to fix this. I purchased a couple adjustable hold downs at my local parts store but they all didn’t work. I then looked on Amazon and found one that works perfectly. Check it out, it was only about $14. It doesn’t come with the fly nuts and hooked rods.

We’re those the 8 inch hooks

Ain't it great when you buy something and it actually works!?  Looks good, too.

I had to trim one hook down. They we more like 10” and the back one needed to be longer but about 1” so I took an inch on the front hook to even them up.

Nice find!  I made my own for both of my Z's with Optima batteries which are about the same height as your battery.  I think I have about $20 in steel for both and for the most part, I only used basic tools, though I did have to put a few welds on them.  I even posted a dimensioned drawing on here 15 years or so ago.
