Battery holder

Hello I'm trying to find a battery hold I believe that's what it a called I have no idea but I put pics the battery I got is huge and the stock metal holder is to.small to hold it down I'm using zip ties for now . I seen some with trd on them but can't find them

 

You ha e the right piece, you just need to bolt it down on both sides

 

Maybe you bought the wrong size battery?

 

TRD metal hold downs?

@Coupe makes them.

Not sure why they're so expensive now. I bought one last year for $13.

It looks like you have the right part, something isn't lining up properly. Check the firewall side where the bolt/hook thing is and make sure it's not turned around. You just need a new bolt/washer I think. Unless like @MikeWH said, you bought a battery that was too big. I know a 24F battery fits fine.

 

Do u have any pictures of them?

 

INTERSTATE MEGA-TRON PLUS MTP-24F BATTERY I got this one

 

It should fit then. Check the tie down hook on the firewall side of the battery, make sure it's not backwards or in some way interfering with the battery sitting in the plastic bin.

 

Is the bottom of the battery sitting on the lip of the bottom plate?

 

yeah it doesn't look like it's sitting properly in the bin.

 

Well then ima try and fit it and also does anyone have a picture of the trd battery holder

 

I am more of a 2 rubber bungie type guy.

 

This is a picture I pulled from his thread.

 

That's pretty hope he does it in red

 

He does. Message him and you can order one.

 

It looks like the battery is sitting to close to the fender.

Which makes it sit crooked .

It is easier to get the bolt in the radiator support first then tighten down the one on the back side .

Once the bolt and nut are on tighten things up

 

Could I just but the battery down on the truck instead of the plastic holder that under the battery could I just take that out and put the battery on the truck metal with no plastic holder under it

 

From the factory there is a couple millimeters thick plastic tray under the battery. That needs to stay. Some batteries that you buy come with plastic spacers of various sizes but those are only there if needed. You may not need it. Like when I bought my Optima red top equivalent I had to use the plastic riser that came with the battery because the Optima was a smaller battery even though it was the same group size.

 

Does the battery not fit in the holder?
