Hello Bill,
 
I have used Stan's battery hold-down and it works well.
And it looks good..and comes with a tray.
Its for a group 24 battery.
Im actually looking for a optima type of battery that makes a group 24 size.
Optima as you know has rounded edges...so the hold-down will not work..
Im sure another manufacturer makes a similar battery in a group 24 size.
 
If you want a slimmer type like the earlier models, I think I bought one that 
is from a 
group 53 ..I will double check. 
 
Hope this helps,
 
Raul

I need to get a battery hold-down for my 1970 2000. I see that Stan
Chernoff has some reproduction trays & hold-downs but I'm not sure if there
are any down-sides to the group 24 battery that it requires (other than that
they appear to be more expensive than "regular" batteries.) I certainly
like the idea of a battery that takes up less space than the one that I
currently have but I'm afraid that the smaller battery will not work as well
and replacements will be harder to find.

Have any of you used Stan's battery tray & hold-down (or a stock unit?) If
so, how do you like it, what kind of battery did you install and where did
you buy the battery?

For those of you using something other than stock, what kind of tray and
hold-down do you use, where did you buy it, and what kind of battery do you
use?

Any other battery-related advice that you have would also be welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.
