I got Red a new stock battery mount from Ford:
The strap rotted off of the original one. The folks at Hooked on Driving want to see two bolts holding the battery in, but none of the Auto Zone store-bought gizmos worked.
The autocross guys busted me at the first event because Red's battery was being held in by nothing but the hood. They gave me two giant tie wraps. Their thing is to just not to be able to shake the battery around.
So after that I went and got two straps from Tractor Supply. Battery secured, in reality, but they go across the filler-up caps:
But I'm concerned about passing inspection at AMP so I got the stock OEM battery mount, a new one and I will plead my case - no, it's not two bolts holding it down but that's the stock battery mount, and a new one.
The thing is, and here comes your Laugh At peewee moment of the week, I can't get the positive terminal cable loose from the battery. I can't for the life of me figure out how to loosen this connection, and I've loosened a whole lot of battery connections:
This thing's nothing but a puzzle to me. It's funny but embarrassing at the same time. No, I really can't get this sumbeach loose, don't know and can't figure out how.
